[Riley5.9]

I have been havin big problems with this, and my offroad dealer sent this TSB to me. The Dealership i go to freaked out when i brought this to them, calling me ignorant and rude. why i dont kno. They claim they dont know anything about it. They also say that its at the customers expense to try and fix. What do you guys think? Anyone else have these issues?

ive had the same problem.when i put the 6" lift in i noticed the shake got worse (had the leveling kit in before this).i took it back to shop,they readjusted the camber in the front but didnt fix the problem.then i took it to the tire store and they said i had a bent rim(stock rim) so bought new rims and tires, it helped but still have a little shake at 70.i also replaced the front stabilizer shock and it help the sway back and forth out alot.just my 2 cents!

Check your warranty. Seems like you have 51 875 miles on her. The TSB is a guide to help the tech resolve the problem.

i just dont really understand.. I only get the wobble on the highway/freeway when i hit any bump or rut. It shakes retardedly until i come to a slow crawl or complete stop. It started happening to me out of no-where one day, and now does it every time. Anywhere i go, i have to stick to side roads. Cant go over 70kph.

I would think that this problem should be covered under your warranty. Maybe you could ask another dealership if they will warranty the problem?

i talked to the only 2 dealerships that are here. One said they wont forsure, and the other said that dodge would only warranty it up to 60K,.. wcic i dont really understand why.. I have the "Gold" warranty package up to 160k.. its stupid, ill see what they say this week.

Have any of you guys ever had this wobble crap happen to you or anyone u kno?

That sounds like a shock that's gone bad.

What about shocks? Not stabilizers.

You got yourself a classic case of deathwobble. From your sig., it looks like you have enough mods to void any warranty on your suspension.
Sorry.
In the long run , you will probably have to pony up for the repairs outlined in the TSB.

These trucks are close to deathwobble stock and every fraction of a degree you change the geometry of the suspension components,the closer you come to the threshold of dynamic instability. Normal wear of the component also shrinks the zone of stability

Not close, they have it. At least my truck does. I have had this happen a number of times and I have no suspension mods and stock tires. I am just under 20k miles right now.

The bum deal is that my tires are good for maybe another 10-15k miles, and after that I thought I would put some 285 Toyo M/Ts or something like that on it. I was thinking that I would also do a leveling kit at the same time just to make sure they don't rub, but if that is going to make this problem even worse, then there is no way.

I must be lucky, I have a 2" leveling kit running 285/75R17 (33") even at 90-100 It's silky smooth
