Mine does the same thing really bad. I've switched the front tire's around and it change's thing's,,,wich tells me it's not the crown in the road,,,wich you'll be hearing. I have gotton different set's of tire's that do just fine. I just put new one's on and need to try switching them.

I know this wasn't an answer, but just wanted to let you know you're not alone.

It could be the roads you are driving on. When the pavers build the roads, they put a crown on the roads to allow for water drainage during heavy rains. If you are in the center lane which is NOT crowned and don't feel the problem, it is NOT your truck. The outer lanes have a curvature towards the outside for drainage. My motorcycle tires attest to this too, since they usually receive more wear just left of center on the tire.
