While driving tonight, as I was decelerating for a traffic light, I could feel a strong vibration . . . kinda felt like I had a flat tire . . . pulled over & the tires are fine . . played around a bit & it seems to occur only when I take my foot off the accelerator & the truck slows down . . . can feel it the most between 5 - 10 MPH . . . anyone else have this or know what it might be??

When you press the brake pedal, or rolling to a stop? I notice my pedal pulsates kinda.

Rolling, slowly while decelerating . . . . sounds like a very low humming noise & can feel a vibration . . . almost felt like I was rolling on a flat tire . .

Well, took the truck to the dealer yesterday, they had to replace the front U joint on the rear shaft . . . apparently it was frozen in one direction; $245 later, it seems to have fixed the problem . .

$245! Key-riest!!

I'll do'em next time for 200! JK! I have done mine several times in 130K and I might have $80 in parts and 3 hours of my time.

I also had a hydrualic press handy to press out the last original u-joint at about 120K miles. So that helped alot.

I replaced them with grease-able joints so we will see if they last any longer than the stock joints.

Actually, the parts were $35, labor was $210 . . .

I'll call you next time I need the truck serviced!! :D

I keep experiencing the same problem, but it seems to be coming from the steering column.

Sounds like you have cracked brake rotor ... needs to be replaced ... it should get worse anytime you get the brakes hot.
