annoying vibration in steering wheel

[Summit]

any one else? it does it 1500-1800 and 2100-2400 rpm range, havent tried higher yet, will tomorrow. thing that sucks is 75mph is22-24rpm range it's not the tire vibration that others are having as my truck will do it at a stand still, clutch in or out.



anyone else with a bad throw out bearing yet too?



starting to think that my truck needs a yellow paint job:{

I've noticed it too

Summit, when did you get your truck? I know what vibration you are talking about, it is engine vibes resonating through the column. I noticed it on a couple trucks I test drove quite a while ago (last Sept. -Nov. ). I felt it was more vibration than would be acceptible to me. More recently built trucks I've driven had much less vibration so I assume/hope Dodge addressed this. I am hoping, because I ordered a new truck! I chalk it up to having a stiffer frame which will act more like a tuning fork and resonate the Cummins diesel vibes to the steering column.



I haven't seen a lot of people post about steering wheel vibes so it doesn't seem to be a common issue.

my vibration went away after adding 2"leveling kit and 315's. it was very aggravating. it tended to give me hand fatigue i am not kidding that how bad the viration was almost like there was a messaging vibrator in my steering wheel and go pedal. i felt like is was in the motor. i used to feel it from 69-74 mph.







UPDATE: THE VIBRATION IS BACK NOT TIRES. IT IS DRIVE SHAFTS OR MOTOR RELATED!

I noticed significant engine vibes through the wheel on the Automatic trucks when at a stop in gear. It was quite obvious when accelerating at about any speed.

I've had my truck in three times for this. They re-balanced the tires, damaged a rim, replaced the rim, vibration still there. Mine is a 4X2. The mechanic drove mine today down a rough road and said it's not bad enough to worry about. I disagreed and took the service writer down a smooth road at 67mph. He agreed that the vibration isn't horrible but annoying. He's going to look into having the drive shaft taken to a driveshaft specialist to be checked and balanced. If it can't be fixed, I'm going to go for a different truck. The first one I drove was a 3500 5spd SO 4. 10. It didn't vibrate at all. It's still there.
