I'll bet his tires need to be high speed balanced-my factory tires were very jumpy/vibration but problem was taken care of when I put on my new tires and balanced correctly. Chris

How about in Texas or Utah, where there are public roads with a posted 80MPH speed limit? Maybe he's not driving on public roadways at all?

Our speed limits here are 75 in a lot of places so I like to go about 6mph over.

Had to bump this.
My 2010 SCREW just started a vibration at 2100-2200 rpm. On the highway this equates to 75-80 mph. Shakes the whole truck and is very perceptible through the front seats.
I had a '04 F150 that had a similar issue in the 45-55 mph range, but there was a TSB for it that called for the drive shaft to be R&R'd. Problem never came back after that.
Anyone have a driveline vibration fixed?

Outside of mechanical issues tires are the most common cause of vibration at highway speeds. Tires can be out of balance conditions at 80 mph but not as noticeable at slower speed. Sometimes a tire can have a condition where the cord can separate at a higher speed. Out of round conditions can cause vibration. The other contributing factors are all in the drive train.

I know there have been issues with some drive shafts. I would think if either it would be noticeable before 80 mph.

Ive never owned a truck that didn't have a slight tire vibration above 80 mph. Very slight in most cases, most wouldn't notice it. Always seemed to be the nature of owning a vehicle with a bit of sidewall on the tires.
