Re: side to side rocking
Does it shudder? Also, does it rock side-to-side or front-to-back?

Re: side to side rocking
When you say rocking, is it pronounced, like 3 or 4 inches, or a smaller movement?
I'd Check tires for roundness and balance, and the brake drums to see if they need to be turned. |

Re: side to side rocking
Sounds like it's time to jack up the rear end and run it a bit; you should be able to see whatever is bouncing around.

Re: side to side rocking
Depends on a couple of things -- does it feel like it's going to shake apart and can you find a "friend" with an enclosed garage?
Wait a sec. Michigan. Has it snowed alot? Check your rims, and see if there is snow caked in them. I've had that vibration with snow in the rims. |

Re: side to side rocking
Don't really understand your last. Did you say that there IS snow caked in your rims? If so, I'd say that's your problem.
Weight in the back of your truck? That shouldn't cause a vibration, especially side to side. Have you had an opportunity to get the truck up on jackstands to run it yet? |

Re: side to side rocking
You could always get a buddy to follow you and watch the tires when it's vibrating.
