does it do it more when your not underpower but not slowing down??? mine does it at 50-60 i think its a wheel bearing or a tire. had wheels balanced before tires put on and they were dang near perfect.

At those low of speeds I think you have out of round tires. Or one with a bulge.

it shakes when accelerating between 25-30 and when decellerating from 30-25, but when coasting it seems a lot better, the wheel bearings seem fine, everything is tight as i said before. going to try putting on the original tires to see it the ones on are now are out of round, thanks for the help guys

You don't even have to go that far, just raise the wheels off the ground and spin them. It's very easy to spot a bulged tire.

actually it was not the tires. the rear universal joint right before the rear end was totally shot. caused the whole truck to shake, just felt like it was coming from the front end.
