Description of the problem	Very noticeable vibration in driveline. I could feel it mostly at higher speeds between 60 mph-90mph. Noticed it right after i bought it. Took it back to the dealer several times and they advised "cannot duplicate customer concern". After 3 attempts to let dodge techs identify the problem with no success i had the assistant service manager morry at norm reeves dodge of temecula ca. Ride with me. Amazingly with me in the truck morry was able to feel the vibration. He told me,"i've driven about 25 of theses trucks and they all do that". I said, "nice,that says a lot about dodge quality." the dodge tech took another look at it and again put down on paper"cannot duplicate customer concern". Frustrated, i attempted to solve the problem on my own realizing a dodge technician would probably never do so. I took the truck to a driveline shop that norm reeves dodge uses. They told me the driveshaft was out of balance and rebalanced it. It did not make the problem better. It actually made it worse. I had them remove the new weights they added which put it back to the way it was. The problem is back the way it was when i bought it. However, my wallet is a $100 lighter. Mcpeek dodge in anaheim ca. Immediately found the problem and advised me dodge is currently working on a fix for the truck but at this time there is no fix. They acknowledged this is a common problem. I also have had a burning oil smell in the cab while idling. The dealership advised me it was new engine packaging oil burning off. I have 9000 miles on truck now and no longer smell burning oil. My truck is a 2500 quadcab 4x4 short bed with the cummins ho 600. *ak
