Has anyone tried the dyna beads for balancing the tires.Put it in the tires once and balanced for the life of the tire.I use them in my motorcycle tires and they work great.No vibrations and it cuts down on tire cupping.

If it makes any of you feel better, Ford makes a crap truck

14K on my 06 XLT and after rotating and balancing the truck shakes at 65 to 70 mph.

At 14K I should not have had plug issues, brake issues, and vibration issues.

Can't wait for the cam phasers to fail next at 15K

Default Tie Rod Ends - at 64k mine were toast...

Try checking your tie rod ends. If you can rotate them by hand at the steering knuckle then they are toast. Just finished installed MOOG new ones with a grease zerk fitting and it rides like a dream again. The MOOG, from O'Reilly's, are heavier duty and $50 a piece. Get a good grease too. Good luck! Todd

No true... thats not how you check a tie rod... just about any tie rod you can twist by hand at he knuckle

grab both sides of the tire and rock them back and forth you will feel play if their is a issue.

Try putting steering stabilizing bars on it. I put it on mine due to steering wobble and it fixed it.
