From the limited description given, I would think the problem may be coming from the rear of the truck. Perhaps a loose rear wheel, tread seperating from the tire, something in the rear of the truck that could wobble when driving.

Could you provide more detail on what the vibration feels like - low vs. high frequency; when the truck is stopped, moving, or both; does the vibration change with engine or road speed?

Just winging out some additional WAGs here - tire out of balance, bent wheel, bent driveshaft, failed/worn u-joints, fuel pump about to shoot craps.

Some website had something about that with regard to a recall. Search the web for "ford recalls" and you'll likely find it. I'll do a search later for it.

You would be amazed at the number of recalls you never hear about. I think that vibration was on one of the recalls. Does it feel like it's coming out of your floorboards?

That's about as close as my memory can get at the moment.

I was looking at 06 f-150's. You didn't mention the year of your truck.

I was looking at 06 recalls. What year model is your truck.

Google Ford truck recalls and you'll find "cars.com." I found several recalls but didn't know the year of your truck. So I'll let you do it.
