Dumb question, does your truck have the factory steering stabilizer? (the crosswise shock absorber) If that is worn the truck will be more prone to a death wobble... kingpins or balljoints worn out do this too.

Check your tire's also. I got the death wobbles on mine, all my steering components were fine, just one tire was more worn than the other so I had to swap them out and it fixed it.

yeah when i was running my flat spotted 38 inch tires, i bought a dual shock stabilizer, that didnt fix the issue but it did help dampin it a bit. i balanced the tires and that finally fixed my death wobble
