vibration fixed

after wks of trying to get vibration between 60- 65 mph
solved with dodge telling they will not do anymore to try and solve now there story is nature of beast,they will not let dealer try anything else.
quote from dodge help line is normal for this truck and gave me my file number so i can proceed under lemon law.
i will not spend another dime on this truck,unless it is to trade. the bad part is i really liked the truck,went and looked at a duramax, so far i feel like dc knows they have a problem but will not spend the money.
i also have a ford f350 ps 4x4 dually that i may replace also with duramax the chevy will coast more but maybe there is a reason.
hope dodge will wake up before it is to late looks like they are going back to ther old ways.
so monday or tuesday i will trade up, still will miss my dc but
i have wasted to much time on one problem.
might change my mind by mon or tues and live with the vibration but i do not think so,
thanks for all of your help in the past.

Sorry to hear that. Mine has the vibration as well, but I can live with it until the warranty nears its end. It seems to come and go, much worse at times than others.

I spoke w/ the DC tech at the largest dealership in several states about it, he said he fully expects a TSB to be released at any time for it, simply because Dodge has had so many complaints that they really have no choice. That was just his opinion. Hope everything works out, I too sometimes wonder if not getting the Duramax was a mistake, but only time will tell. Not like I can't sell it!!!

You would know if you had it. Droan sounds like a helicopter flying about 75 feet over your head and vibration comes in on or about 68mph to whatever,...different on different trucks. But severe enough you feel it in the floor, seat, steering wheel. Will put your hand asleep in less than 75 miles on the steering wheel. Trust me,..you'd know.
