2020 5.7 etorque, 3.21 LSD, 2WD. 5800 miles.

Just returned from a long road trip which involved driving thru states with 80 MPH speed limits. I noticed that at speeds above 80 MPH, there is a noticeable vibration that can be felt throughout the cab. I want to say that this vibration recently developed since I do not recall feeling this before, but my state only has 65 MPH speed limits so the opportunity to drive at >80 MPH speeds has been limited.

The vibration cannot be felt below 80MPH so the issue must be minor? I suspect this to be a tire issue and may require for the tires to be rebalanced (and possibly road-force balanced). Has anyone had success with getting their dealer to rebalance their tires under warranty? Owner's manual shows a 1/12K warranty on wheel balance.

I just took my truck on a highway trip where I was able to go 80+mph and experienced the exact same thing. It’s the first time I have been on a major highway with it since Covid hit. Prior to this I had never had an issue with vibration over 80. My truck has approximately 12,000 miles on it with the original Bridgestone Duelers.

Any suggestions or recommendations to resolve the issue? I am not as concerned about FCA covering it as I am resolving the issue.

I paid Costco $25.99 to perform a tire rotation and wheel balance. The tech said the tires were "way out of balance." I have only driven the truck at highway speeds briefly, but the vibration does seem to be improved.

Any suggestions on new tires? I actually liked the ride of the stock Bridgestones before the vibration issue started but want to explore a better quality tire for a replacement. Any help is appreciated.
