My dealer replaced the ring and pinion gear which helped for a bit, but now the vibe is back. They had the truck for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and tried numerous things, but I am waitng on a backordered Drive shaft to come in.

Dealer replaced two tires, which cured most of it, I rotated the driveshaft 90 degrees which cleared up the rest of it. The vehicle is very sensative to any road variations. On the few smooth roads in New England I can find, the truck is now smooth as anything.

Before anyone talks about vibration they should state mileage when it started, name brand and size tires they are running.
My 04' Lariat was smooth as silk till I had 300miles and now a get a slight vibration at 65-70mph...."sometimes" I've only got 500 on it as of today. The vibration I saw was only after 50 miles at that speed after things were well warmed up. I can't get it to do it just blasting up to 65-70. Seems like everything has to warm up to operating temp then the vibration starts.
Mine has 275 x 65R x 18 BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A's under it..
We need exact descriptions of when this vibration starts.
How did it ever wind up being called a "Nibble"??
