Welcome to FTE!!!
Could you give us more details about your truck.
Shaking at speed could be out of balance tires, wheel bearings, driveshaft...can you describe the problem in more detail...I would start with the tires.

ok, well it is a V6 2.8L i belive and like it has a hard time getting past 65 it gets there but then the engine makes a deep "vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv" sound. The tires i think are fine and fairly new, i think its the engine because i belive that is what is shaking or something along those lines

do you have any loose universal joints?
What is your rear gear ratio and condition?
Like Ken00 says check your tires air pressure, balance.....etc
As a non standard rule.......... if it doesn't shake at 60 and it shakes at
65 chances are it's not the engine....mounts can be checked engine
and transmission.....Finally a 2.8 at 75mph without some performance parts is all it can do.........
