Finally getting irritated with this truck. 2015 ram 2500 cummins. It shakes at 70-75 mph. Anyone else experiencing it? Have you fixed it, what was the cause and what fixed it? I already know, drive below 70 and it wont shake, but i hate to drive slow on the interstate and cause a wreck or get ran over. Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't had the shake on my 2017 but have heard of others. It could be a number of things but one thing I know is this from from Rough Country could help. One of my employees installed it on his and I recently did on mine as well, along with their dual steering stabilizer. Made a big difference on both of our trucks.

Mine does it too. It didn’t do it with factory wheels and tires. I put some 20” aftermarket rims, bilsteins and 35-12.50s on it and a leveling kit and now it will shake your teeth loose at 75. I had it balanced a bunch of times. Sometimes it helped for a little while and then back to shaking. I hate it. A guy at a truck accessory place said the leveling kit could have the compressed the front springs and thought it would be best to take it out and do a spring lift with Fox shocks. He had a reference of another guy that said he did that and his rode smooth on the same truck. Mine is a 14 model 2500

If you end up replacing parts, get away from OEM parts, id look into thuren parts / suspension, some of the best out there for the solid axle trucks.

How many of y’all are running leveling kits? Only 37k on mine but no shakes but don’t want to start going down this road.
The coil spring setup lends itself to issues but typically when the Geometry is changed. Search death wobble in Jeeps. Exact same suspension setup just way heavier duty in the Cummins

I remember Discount telling me tires are only balanced up to 60 mph.......but that was a few years ago.
It all depends on what you have on your old truck vs your new truck. I had a 2008 ram 2500 Cummins with a 8 inch lift and it drove good for what it was. I sold that truck and bought a stock 2017 F-250 and it drove way better than my 08 on 37’s. After 1500 miles I went from stock Michelin’s to toyo open country MT’s and the truck pulled like crazy to the right. It pulled so bad that I had to pay $300 for a repair to make it drive straight.
Long story short trading it in on a ford won’t fix a problem for everyone.

I had a ram 2015 dually no vibration/ shake what so ever. Traded for a ram 2016 dually 70-75 mph vibration was horrible. If nobody was sitting in passenger seat you had to hold seat back it was so bad. Spent about $2,000 trying new tires, rotate, balance, balancing bead no help. Dealer even tried new drive shaft with no effect. They finally said it was tires, however the factory tires and new tires both did it. I traded it for a new ford and couldn't be happier.
