Good info. I was curious if it was for 2-piece driveshaft trucks only. Apparently not.

That is my truck in the video & yes I also did make a video of it pointed to the back on the differential & springs. Has anyone tried adding this damper to their truck & did it help any? I will find that other video & link it.

If you guys are talking about that bracket with the black hockey puck looking things, my 2015 has one, just like that. My truck recently developed a pretty severe shudder that starts at about 60mph and gets worse as you go faster which is why I found this thread. I don't have any shudder at takeoff though.

when my 11 started to do that it was the joint at the diff having gone bad. id suggest getting them checked out.

some guys with a two piece shaft went to an aftermarket one piece and it fixed their issue. Not saying it would fix yours but just throwing it out there.

Just a small update on my shudder issue. I have now completely replaced the whole rear driveshaft assembly, which includes both upper and lower shafts, as well as the whole center section including the carrier bearing. For somewhat unrelated reasons, I have also completely changed out all my shocks and struts up front. I have tried a completely different set of wheels and tires as well.

My shake is still there, and it's getting worse.

Like I mentioned above, I don't have any sort of take off shudder. Mine starts at about 60mph and gets worse as I go fast. 71-74 seems to be the sweet spot for the worst of it. It will come and go, but when it's really bad my whole truck will shudder violently.

It's going back to the dealer next week. If they find something out, I will post.

That blows. Mine is still doing it but I have too much going on to chase after it right now.

That's weird how we both have 15's but I dont have the hockey puck on mine. I wonder why. Maybe that came on the later 15's. I believe mine is an early build.
