My 98 3500 2 wd with Cummins will start violently shaking in the front end if it hits a big bump. The steering wheel does not shake though. I have to slow down to 20 MPH to settle it down. My son claims it needs front shocks.
I have read about this death wobble on Dodge forums and they claim the front wheels toe in and toe out violently caused by a poorly anchored steering box that needs a brace. This rig of mine has a tie rod between the front wheels with the steering box tied to the left wheel. I cant see how it can toe in, toe out with a tie rod between the front wheels, and the steering wheel doesnt shake. I put a new tie rod on it 5000 miles ago. One rough stretch of highway close to me will set it off two times in the same mile but earlier this week my son took it on a 400 mile round trip on smooth roads without problems. He does a lot of work on large trucks including front ends so maybe he is right. What do you guys think? I dont want to put a lot of money into this thing chasing the problem. There is good reason why I nickname this pickup money pit .

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
