I did give you useful info == get rid of the truck, get a lawyer, use the lemon laws, get the regional rep down there to drive the truck, get the big shots in Detroit involved. The Truck is under warranty yet you continue to try all these various long shots at fixing it on your own. Why can't all these trained mechanics find the problem - would it possibly be because there is not one to find ? At first I thought that this was a legitimate problem and was curious about the outcome. I now find it more entertaining and curious as to when the pea under the mattress will be exposed for what it is. I am not wasting my time reading this as much as you are wasting your time trying to mix your muffler bearing with your bucket of steam. Your frustration is much different than my entertainment. As far as me going to **** myself -- well you my friend seem to be the pro at that. By the way - you will find that cheese and crackers go great with whine.

OMG !! I love following this tread --- it is comedy at it's finest. I can't wait until this guy starts complaining about the muffler bearing making a grinding noise. Maybe he'll rip his whole truck apart looking for that noise. He states that "I'm willing to look at anything, at this point." Really ? My gut says that if the problem were as bad and obvious as stated that it would have been detected by now. Certainly he would have gotten legal representation !
Nope -- just fishing
I got an idea for you. Go park the truck in Michigan and catch a flight home.

Was able to locate information on the GM issue. Read and evaluate it for what it's worth with our F150's.
----------------------------------
"GM Campaign #PIT3009J: Suspension Vibration Or Frame Beaming At 40-60 MPH (64-80KM/H) - keywords front rear shake shock spring tire - (Sept 18,2008)""
Condition/Concern:
Beam shake vibration is usually felt and occurring at speeds between 40-50 mph (64-80 km/h). Hertz readings using an EVA tool are normally between 8-24 HZ. This condition is most common on extended cab and crew cab models but has also been noted in other models.
Recommendation/Instructions:
The severity of the beam shake may vary from vehicle to vehicle. To determine if the concern is beam shake, please perform the following:
1. Test drive vehicle to confirm the condition. A beam shake condition will usually respond to concrete type pavements more than asphalt, so the vehicle should be driven over both surfaces if possible.
2. Place 200-500 pounds in the pickup bed between the closed tailgate and the wheel wells. A beaming condition should dissipate.
-----------
If the concern is determined to be beam shake, this a characteristic of the vehicle. GM Engineering has released updated body mounts to reduce this concern for the Crew and Extended Cab Models. There will be no changes made to the Regular Cab Models.
FOR CREW AND EXTENDED CAB MODELS, REPLACE THE REAR CAB MOUNTS WITH UPDATED PARTS LISTED BELOW. THESE PARTS SHOULD NOT BE USED ON REGULAR CAB MODELS.
New upper and lower mounts should be installed at the left and right rear cab position. The new LOWER mount is a two-piece design, meaning there is a rubber mount with a metal washer. Some models may use a one piece lower mount, meaning the rubber mount has a metal washer molded into it. If the vehicle has the one-piece lower mount design, washers (PN 15854745, Qty 2) will be needed to be used with the new lower mount.
Upper Mount 25791031 Qty 2
Lower Mount 25791032 Qty 2
Washer 15854745 Qty 2 (if needed)
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

You sure it was in Oklahoma? I've lived there off and on over the years and drove that stretch for the military a couple times. I'm saying a smooth road in Oklahoma is a myth. Lol. Unless you're in the left lane passing somebody. Haha. 412 will definately irritate the hell out of you with the thunk thunk thunk of the road. 40 isn't bad with the improvements they've made, still some bad spots.
I-35 north of the casinos, absolutely the right lane is punishment for some bad deed or something previously in our lives. Wife tells me to drive in the left lane. My luck OHP would be in the median give me a ticket for not using the left lane for overtaking slower traffic. I point out the posted signs to her and we simply deal with the less than desirable stretch.

jack, I started to answer your questions one by one, but the answers to all your questions, and comments have already been addressed in my previous posts.
If this entertains you, great. If you don't have anything useful to say, just read, and keep your mouth shut. This isn't funny to me. Unless you've ridden in my truck, you really don't have any idea what it's like. Hell, you might be used to driving worn out ****ty trucks that shake all the time, and you've grown accustomed to it. I don't drive crappy trucks and know that this is NOT normal for a new truck.

[MENTION=143012]joedotmac[/MENTION] did bring up a point that I was wondering. Where abouts do you live in TX Taxi? Just like Oklahoma there are some parts of the road that will amplify imperfections in your suspension. I understand that you have driven several miles with this problem, so I'm not trying to stir the pot with useless posts. Just wondering if it's consistent with whatever road you are on or it gets worse with certain roads. If it gets worse on certain roads, I would have to say that a fault with your suspension is being amplified by the road conditions. If it's the same all the time, I'd say it would be one of your driveline components and not the suspension.
I'm sure you've stated this, but I've been back and forth with so many threads in the last couple days that I can't remember for sure. I don't want to assume you did something when you haven't.
