I have this going on also. When it started, it was only noticeable when I would get off the throttle around 40. Over the course of the last year it has gotten increasingly louder. Sounds like driving over small rumble strips in the road. I can now feel it in the steering wheel. I always thought it was a wheel bearing job slowly creeping up on me. I am having the wheel bearings checked next time it is in for service.

I'll check that out. I put new U-joints in the front about 10k miles ago. I didn't check the others.

Well guys sorry I haven't posted till now. Got busy before the trip and found out that my tire gauge was bad that I use to fill my air bags with. I had 55ish psi in the bags. lowered the bags to 30 for pulling the fifth wheel and it seemed to go away. Must of had to much of an angle for the drive line. Does this sound possible? Had a great trip to speedway and back with no problems. Even got 12 mpg pulling 10,000 pounds doing 65mph.

I would have to say since your problem went away that it is possible. Thanks for reporting back and I am glad your trip went well.

I had a similar issue with mine. My Trucked dropped 2.5" when I dropped on the camper and pumped up the bags to reclaim that distance then I got a shutter. But only when taking off from a stop, so I lowered my pressure and the shutter went away..
