Driveline Vibration
As a result of reading many posts ref driveline vibrations I took a 04 F-150 for a test drive just prior to signing the papers for $31000. worth right at 45MPH it started shaking and stopped at 55mph the salesman took me to service and they said they didn't know of a problem YEA RIGHT well I walked . Who wants to buy a new truck on monday and take it to service on tuesday. It's web sights like this that inform us all of problems and save a lot of grief to many.

Well at least you found one that shakes from the start, some of these guys don't feel anything until a couple thousand miles into it and then their are pretty much sOL from the sounds of it. Thats what test drives are for, you probably saved yourself a big hassel, hope you can find one that does not shake.

I drove 3 different trucks last weekend. 2 F250's and 1 F150 and all of them had bad vibrations in the speeds that you mentioned. Drove a F150 today and it had no vibrations, I was pleased with the ride, but the dealer tried to stick it to me on my deal. The dealership is building a new building and I guess they wanted me to pay for it for them. Hope you find a truck that dosen't vibrate and a good deal!! Good Luck
