All of a sudden... a severe shake at 40MPH (1 Viewer)

How long did it sit before the shaking incident?

I drive it daily

Darn, I was hoping it was just flat spots on the tires, which can happen after prolonged parking and usually fixes itself after a bit of driving.

Sounds like you're going to end up just having to play the elimination game. Check every single fastener, check every bushing with a pry bar, check for play in every rod end, all the fun stuff to do on a winter day.

Yep…. I guess so!

Well…. it wasn’t the head gasket or the sun roof. Still not sure what caused this. I drove it the next day and I couldn’t get it to vibrate again. So weird. It was a vibration in the steering wheel that shook back and forth from left to right. Check air pressure and all lugs. Did t see any loose or missing bolts but it was definitely in the steering area that caused this.

Death Wobble?!--Check your bushings.

Well, right there's your problem! Blown out front panhard bushings. And a little com-a-long used to align the holes at reassembly. The old girl gave me and wife quite a scare a couple weeks ago. We pulled out of a side road and as the truck accelerated she started shaking like a wet dog...
