Death Wobble

Am new here and was looking at a thread yesterday where someone was inquiring about this condition and was contemplating selling their truck cause they couldn't find a fix...I've spoken to several folks with adn with out this condition the Dodge dealer in Payson Az faxed me a TSB on this (#22-005-06) dated 10-7-2006 that references steering damper, tie rods and link (outer) and making sure the tire pressure(all 4) are correct.

Had a friend experience this on his 06 after going over a "bridge seam". Almost "did it" in his shorts before he sas able to get it stopped and off the road. Took my 07 over the same bridge same, several passes at different speeds...nothing. All my tires at recommended pressure, so maybe thats a big part. My son in law experienced the saw DW on his 08 last week getting off the 101 here in Chandler after driving over a small rut on the ramp. Is gonna check hios pressure. no news yet on that. Sooo, it appears that the "DW" still alive (just hiding) on the newer trucks also.

Do you have bigger tires or any suspension or suspension-related mods, lift, aftermarket shocks, etc. and how many miles on it?
