I have a similar issue. '06 F250 4x4 SWB CC, all stock. I rotated and balanced the tires but it made no improvement. It's not horrible, but definitely noticeable. I wonder if the tires are cupped (or cupping?). My tires still have about 75% tread life on them. It really smooths out at about 75 mph and up, which could get costly

I'll be following this thread.

I have the same exact problem. I drive a 06 Extended Cab Short Bed. Crawled under and tugged on the driveshaft and everything seems to be ok still. Rather not splurge $80 on a diagnostic fee for a 'everything looks tight still.'
I'm running practically new BFG Rugged Trail T/As and the PO had a set on there too beforehand. I'm due for a rotation but I doubt it'll fix it. I wonder if its the BFGs?

My stock truck made some weird vibrations when I first bought it. I made some shims to drop the center support bearing down a 1/2. And that stopped them, but I cant remember when I was feeling them. I kniw for sure when I was starting to move in 1st gear.
