You really need to check everything out including your rims and tires for balance. Check your shocks and shock bushings for wear. Check your wheel bearings for slop. Check all suspension hardware for wear and looseness. Steering components could possibly do this but most of the time I have seen problems like this be suspension related. Good luck. Jake.

Definatly agree with Jake, I have found Tie rod ends to be the culprit on My Trucks Ford uses some really cheap ones from the factory. grab the front tire and shake it from front to back like You are trying to rip it off the truck. You shouldn't get any movement. If You do get someone to look under it while You do this and see whats moving. Hopefully this will help. Could also be a flat spotted tire anywhere on the truck. I have chased down front end shakes to a flat spotted rear tire before.

I agree with deere81.. I would definetly not count out the rotors. Unfortunately this is hard to just check. If everything else check out fine you may have to take the rotors off and have them turned. Sometimes you can tell rotor warpage by discoloration of the rotor. But not all the time!!!

No prob, Mike.
Tire problems like Brad mentioned about flat spots and also knots like Deer81 talks about can really give you the run-around also. I also agree with this being a problem on the front or rear of the truck. Defenetly check any tires in question. Good luck. The vibration would speed up and slow down with conjunction to the speed that you are traveling. Good luck. Jake.
