The Ram 1500 vibration problems are most likely caused by tire wear problems. When Your truck gets out of alignment driving over rough roads or dirt roads it can throw the alignment out. When that happens Your truck will not drive straight and the tires will wear unevenly. The uneven wear can lead to vibrations while driving. The next most likely source of vibration issues while driving are suspension problems. The shocks and struts wearing out can cause Your vehicle to vibrate while accelerating. The final thing You could check when You have a problem with vibration are the motor mounts. If Your mounts are collapsed or the rubber has worn out then You will feel the engine vibrations through the cabin of Your truck.

Fuel economy system not going from 4 cylinder to 8 cyc, at shifting points causing the engine to lug..can feel like a u-joint or drive train problem..use the manual shift (+ and- ) over rides economy system and vibration goes away..ram tech says that there is no fix and not working on one at this time..yea, that's what i say!!!

It's not tires. It an issue with the active fuel management system. Some cylinders want to shut down because the computer tells it to but something isn't right. Gone to dealer 3 times under 10k miles and still not fixed

2003 Ram 1500 had a vibration at higher speeds from the get-go. Dodge kept denying there was an issue. 2017 Ram 1500, some d**n thing. Had tires rebalenced multiple times through the years. DONE with Ram. Will NEVER buy another!

I have a 2007 Ram 1500 and the shaking has continued to get worse. Only 85K miles on it. Shakes while driving, felt like it was coming from the front end. I asked a mechanic to check it out, a rear driveshaft u-joint was bad. Still did not fix the problem. Was told by 3 mechanics total the CV joints were good. While changing brakes & rotors I checked for CV joint sloppiness. Wheels were off, front end up on a jack. Didn't seem like much sloppiness. Put the new brakes on, the tires were balanced, and new inner & outer tie rod ends were installed. Still didn't fix it. THEN, while the wheels were down on the ground I crawled underneath it and turned the front drive shaft. Holy c**p the right CV joint has a lot of slop in it! Left side looked ok. Bought replacement intermediate shafts for left & Right, as well as new CV axles for both sides. From my online forum searches, there is no mention of checking CV joints, especially while the truck is on the ground. I have not put the new parts on yet, but am d**n certain that is exactly why my truck shakes. I'm going to take video footage of the CV joints and show the mechanic when I'm done- it'll be a little pearl of wisdom to tuck under the hat.

Mine is a 2022 vibration starts at 1000 rpm ends at 1200 you can feel it in the steering wheel. I thought it was a U joint I took it in at 400 miles and was to the variable valve timing had software issue and no fix available at this time. 50 K and this is what I got .
