Did you hit something?
I would report the dealer that told you not to bring it back, the truck is under warranty, call FoMoCo and tell them. Thats BS that they refused to help you. All they have to do is balance the driveshaft it costs $50.

I also have a vibration between 56-61 mph on my 2000 F-150. Runs and sounds great at any other speeds. I left it at the local Ford dealer for the past 2 days. Now after $291 they have replaced the rear exhaust dampner. This has not fixed the problem. How do you do a drive shaft balance?
Thanks

If you live in a bigger city, there are shops around that will balance your driveshaft. Look ihn the phonebook for some machine and welding shops and call and ask them if they will balance a driveshaft.
There is a way to do it yourself, if you have the space / tools, pick up a Haynes or Chiltons manual and it should be in there. I can't repesat the procedure here because if I leave out a step you could get seriously hurt, plus its copyright infringement.
