vibration
I have a 06 fi50 STX 4X4regular cab 3500 miles, it has general tires 255 70 17's. it has a vibration around 50 to 55 mph and 70 to 75. i just got it back from dealer 1-17. they put new tires on it and it still does it. not to bad ,but too much for a pretty expensive vehicle. has anyone else had this problem?

Do a search under vibration and you'll find plenty about this! However, I had it and had all four wheels balanced and rotated the tires; it took it away immediately. On a new truck you would be surprised how far out of balance the wheels can be.......

Mine also did that with the Michelin tires. I took it back to the dealer and they had to end up replacing 3 of them and they had a special machine to do a road force balance on them. They said they had to do that since the frames on this body style truck were so stiff and the regular cab short beds are so light, its really noticible. They said is was a fairly common problem and on some of them, they have had to put some kind of frame dampener on them.
