I have a 2022 F350 with just over 6K on the clock. I swapped the factory front bumper for a Ranch Hand Legends bumper.
After the new bumper I noticed an odd vibration that I can feel in the seat of my pants. thinking maybe a tire was needing balanced, I had them all rebalanced. The vibration is still there - just enough so you can feel it, it comes and goes randomly. My wife drove the truck the other day and she even noticed it - thinking the heavier bumper was making bumps in the road more noticeable. She usually never notices things like that so I know its there!
Bumper is tight and secure so I feel its just a coincidence that I am feeling it now. I looked under the truck and nothing obvious stuck out except the front u joints on both side are "wet" with grease. Is that normal for these Fords?
Are your experiencing a rhythmic cycling subtle vibration that you and lightly feel very softly hear? Does it fee like it is coming from the drive train and changes based upon speed and load? I don't have an answer, but that is what I've begun experiencing with my 2018 at 70K miles. Hoping it isn't going to fall apart anytime soon. Oh, are there zerc fittings under the truck I should be addressing?

I do not hear anything. It is subtle on smooth roads, then on other roads it just feels like all the bumps are intensified. I go back an forth if it feels like a drive shaft issue or a front end issue. It almost seems more like a front end issue as a rough road makes it feel worse.
I have not seen any zerk fittings but there may be some on the u joints or where the back and front drive shaft meet.
