Thanks guys, we're working it out. Oh, and that picture party will happen as soon as I figure out how to resize the photos. It is a real sharp truck.

I had the same vibration from new, I was able to make it go away by deflating my way over inflated back tires. The dealer had inflated them to 80 psi, I deflated to 50psi and be damned with the tpms warnings, all good now. I have no Idea why it went away but it did.Horseplay wrote:So I'm a little disappointed to say the least. Brought the truck in after owning it for less than 24 hours. The salesman, the mechanic and the service manager all had a turn with it. All said and done, now I have a hundred miles on the clock and during break in, you're not supposed to drive 65/70 mph which is where the vibration is most noticeable. They agreed there is a vibration. They checked the balance found one of the tires would not balance and replaced the tire with a new one.
I also noticed the driver's side corner was pushed in on the front bumper. I brought that to their attention and the service manager told me it was just misaligned. After having it realigned, I noticed the bumper still appeared bent. Service manager told me he will see if Chrysler will replace it, should hear back tomorrow.
Drove home, same vibration, coming from the same location. FML. I strongly suspect the vibration is the result of cheap OE tires. I'm considering the purchase of new ones but the principal of the mater is that I just spent 52k on this truck. Not happy.

Food for thought: Google duratrac vibration. Seems like these tires can be hit and miss.
