SEESAW

Hello! I have a 99 f350 crew cab long bed. My problem is when i am crusing along and the truck is like a seesaw on a smooth road. It just bounces front back front back front back like the road has a buch of ripples in it. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be the problem? thanks

Were you going the speed limit? I have noticed on some of the interstates around chicago, that trucks (going the speed limit) have developed ruts in the roadway. If I drive the speed limit, I hit all those ruts and will just bounce down the road. If I speed up or slow down, I get out of that "rhythm" and it goes away. Just a thought.
