Description of the problem	2005 dodge 2500 cummins engine, 160,000 miles, started shaking violently going down the road at 55 mpg after hitting a bump in the road associated with everyday driving. Had to slow down to almost a stop to get it come out of it, went another 30 miles did it again. Absolutely a scary situation for me and my family and im am sure it was scary for people behind me as they seen my truck start shaking and me slamming on the brakes. Drove truck home and have since learned that this is commonly known as the "dodge death wobble" , a common problem on model years 2003 thru 2008. Forum websites have hundreds upon hundreds of posts on it, from 20,000 miles to 250,000 miles. Contacted dodge dealer and there is no "recalls" open on my truck steering other than h46 and n62, neither of which will solve the problem. Funny thing is, even though dodge "doesn't have a problem" i have not been able to find where i can order the same type of steering linkage currently on my truck, it takes me to the new 2009 and newer style. A very serious situation, especially with winter driving that needs to be addressed by the manufacturer.
