Slight vibration

When my truck was new I had a vibration I could feel in the steering wheel and see on my passenger seat if I looked over there while vibrating. The dealer road force balanced and then discovered I had 2 defective tires. They replaced them and re road force balanced and I could go all the way to 90 mph smooth as silk.

I am still having problems 3 years after purchase of my '19. I have an in-cab vibration at highway speeds. Been told a few times(at my expense) that it's within spec and perfectly normal. I'm trying once more to get it repaired or I'm seeking legal recourse. This is complete and utter ****ing ********!!!


New tires(the old tires had 13k miles on them) didn't help.

New driveshaft didn't help. I'm pretty sure this is the culprit as a quick no-load test shows it out .0018. I have an appointment this upcoming Wednesday to see if they'll replace it again.

MULTIPLE balances (around 5 or 6) didn't help.

New brakes, didn't help.

Also, the truck also STILL has the clunk/thud when taking off from a complete stop.

Check the hubs for run out, possible bent rim

I lack the tools to do it myself. All 5 of the tire shops I've taken it to said they're fine. Also, I do not feel in the steering wheel. It vibrates the entire cab. Obviously the tire shops can't check the hubs and the service center doesn't give a crap.

Pop the hood, start your engine, look down to pulley at the bottom far left. All my belt pulleys are very true with no wobble except the Harmonic Balancer (Crankshaft Damper). Here is link to part 53022083AA - Genuine Mopar DAMPER-CRANKSHAFT . Here is a link to video I took, not the greatest but maybe will help. Lance shared 1 video with you .
Did you notice anything else happening when your pulley was doing this? Did replacing it stop the wobble?

I just happened to notice mine doing essentially the same thing while looking over the motor while it was running and now I'm a little concerned. Truck has 116k on it.
