Hi, I think this has been going on awhile.
But this weekend it started getting to me or it's getting worse.
In my 2004.5 duramax 2500hd Crew at around 80kph (50mph) I get allot of vibration in the cab, I can hear what sounds like clattering behind the steering wheel, however I have no steering issues. Steering / driving is still smooth.
This time I had a stroller and some other light stuff in the passenger seat and I could see it bouncing away... I guess seeing that made me realize how much it really does vibrate.
As I'm approaching 50mph it slowly gets worse, and then gets better around 60mph but never really goes away.
I did have the front lower passenger side ball joint done when I first got the truck, they aligned the tires when they were done. I got that done shortly after getting the truck and not sure if it vibrated before that. But I assume if it were a front end problem I'd know it.
I googled around and found other people have complained about the same thing.
It seems to be worse or at least not better when I'm towing my 5th wheel with an additional 1400lbs on the rear end...
Unfortunately the original owner heavily modified the exhaust, so it's not stock at all. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
