shaking from 40-60
Truck is a stock 2001 f250 7.3 with 205,000 miles. When accelerating or braking from about 40-60mph it starts to shake a little bit. When braking it shakes a lot more from 60 down to 40. But the faster you speed up the less it shakes when taking off. Looked at everything underneath is tight, and it has stock a stock steering stabilizer. Would a new stabilizer fix this you think?

My brake caliper got stuck last night and now it's way worse. I think I need new brakes all together in the back I guess. You think that would cure it? And a wheel balance too?

Do you feel the vibration mainly in the steering wheel or through the seat of your pants?
Steering wheel vibration indicates issues in the front of the truck, while feeling it through the seat indicates problems in the rear.
If the rotor are warped bad enough you'll need to replace them. Sometimes they can be turned if it is mild, most times you can only turn them once and you run the risk of a repeated warping down the road.

If it shaking after the transmission shifts, it could be a lot of things. U-joints, carrier bearings, transmission, tail shaft.
I'm thinking it might be worth it to you to take it in to a good shop and have a full inspection done on it.
