Bad vibration at a stop

So I got a bad vibration when the truck is not in gear and moving, had our mechanic check out injectors and they are fine and he suggested it may be the clutch? Any ideas? It doesn't seam to matter if the clutch is in or out but the truck shakes so bad it annoying.

Could be the DMF clutch is on the way out. Is the clutch original?

When I got my Ram new, the clutch pressure plate was out of balance. Dodge replaced it. Not so uncommon. I made an adapter for my large L&S lathe that looked like a crankshaft. Then I mounted the flywheel and clutch in the lathe. That make troubleshooting easy. These things are stampings and actually pretty crude. They should be balanced before installation, but are not.

Yes it original, not sure to keep stock or go to something else. Can't complain though because my auto mega cab lasted only 65k.
