We are having the exact same problem with our 04 Dodge 2500 4x4 ~ it is scary as shit! have spent a ton of money trying to fix it! still doing it!

@TheErica0122  Sorry to hear that! My truck hasn't done it in about 43000 miles. It turned out being my tires. It came with Michellen LTX's. It stopped after I switched to a set of 285/70/17 Firestone Destination A/T's and a new steering damper. I was told that if your truck does the dw once, your steering damper is toast.

Hey I got a suggestion why doesn't everyone look at the video real close at 25 seconds the dumb ass is driving on the shoulder on the rumble strips which obviously causes it to shake like shit and it stops when hes pulled back onto the smooth highway.

[danieladamdelarosa]

@ethanmcd watch who you call a dumb ass. It may appear that Im on the rumble strips, but you are obviously confused by the viewing angle. See, when you are in the drivers seat it may appear that you are "riding the line", as for the passenger side appears that you are "riding the center line".

@danieladamdelarosa pause it at 37 seconds and tell me youre not driving on the rumble strip... tool

[danieladamdelarosa]

@Dontneedtostroke Not on the strips tool. I made another video to show those of you that are a bit slow, or not used to sitting in the drivers seat.

[danieladamdelarosa]

Its just a junky azz design. I wish Dodge would man up and take responsibility. Im trading mine in as soon as I can and getting a ford,lol.

[wonderbread06]

its is apparently the track bar that is the issue

@TheErica0122

This problems leads to greater problems quickly, it can warp the rotors, warp the tires themselves, not to mention that it can cause a major accident! The sooner you can get the tie-rods, rotors and brakes replaced, the better. It might pay to take the truck to a firestone. they will gladly tell you you have a million problems with suspension. i wouldn't pay them any money for the work, but still... knowledge is power.

@TheErica0122

As mechanic I've come across this problem both on my own truck and a few customers vehicles. I'm not sure which city you're in, but if you were in Houston I'd fix it for you at a good price.

The problem is caused by tie-rods going out. when there is too much play in them and the the pittman/idler arm the entire vehicle shudders.
