Found the Reason (Front End Shaking)
 
Had a friend work the steering wheel back and forth, steering box is wore. Or rather where the pit man arm bolts up, the bearing is shot. Can here it clunk pretty good, making it sound like a bad tie rod. At least everything else was tight, but was hoping the track bar was loose, been easier to change. :ouch:

how was it shaking and when was it shaking? Mine is shaking too but only when I hit out of lvl pavement such as in construction zones

I have seen some steering boxes with almost a half a turn of play!! They are a fairly cheap easy fix tho, no worries :c:

My front end shakes at around 60 and when I turn I hear a clunking sound. I don't have and play in the wheel. I'll have to check out the pitman arm and steering box

Could br bad tie rods or an alignment too. Have you checked them?? :humm:

Tie rods no not really alignment seems good no wandering. But I will check those all out I did check the ball joints they are tight

Speed specific vibrations are often a tire balance problem. :c:

You should put the DSS on with a new box to help it last longer.

My tires are new maybe 5k on them. I just bought the truck end of January. I'm taking it up have them rebalanced. My biggest concern is the thumping feeling I get in the pedals and steering wheel while turning.
