    i started getting a vibration a cpl days before christmas, ive been puttin off takin it in because i was just figuring it was the tires gettin old, its mainly when i let off adn slow down or turn that im getting the vibes most a lil when accelerating sometimes but not nearly as much. it feel like its coming from the front right of the vehicle. and compares to having it in 4 wheel drive and running at a good clip liek theres tension in the system and its also similar to the rumble strips on the side of the highways but not that bad almost as if i have big mud tires on it. my dad has the same truck as i do but its a long bed and a automatic and his vibrations are alot worse than mine and all the time...i think i seen a tread on here about flywheels being bad in the dodges and was wondering if thats what it might be on his. mine i have no clue u joints maybe

    I had that vibration. Turned out to be the rear u-joint. I had it replaced under the 36K warranty. The front u-joint seal was leaking and they replaced that, too.
