Someone just posted a thread a few days ago on the fix for the death wobble; didn't read it since I don't have that problem

Death wobble is a caster angle issue. And caster angle isn't an adjustment on these trucks, so a Ford dealership has their hands tied. A good alignment shop will know how to adjust caster.
