Description of the problem	Purchased a 2006 dodge ram 2500 cummins diesel. Truck was used at time of purchase with around 20 thousand miles on it. Five days later driving home from work on the highway at around 55-60 miles per hour the front end began to shake violently. Lucky for me nobody was around all i could do was to keep the truck on the road had to use both lanes, mine and the oncoming traffic lane. I was really out of control couldn't steer or brake to stop. After looking on line i have come to know it as the "death wobble" went to dealer and they said i should have e rated tires or ten ply's. They installed new steering stabilizer and suggested new shock absorbers and to take off the front 2" in leveling kit or front spacers that were on my truck when i purchased it. Drove truck home and the front end was shaking the whole way. So i bought brand new e rated tires and put all new expensive after market shocks on the truck myself. Slight improvement was achieved by these upgrades. Also took to another dodge dealer after these modifications for a second opinion. They wouldn't replace anything but said they tightened a few things in the front end. They then said that it was probably the rims on my truck. So i purchased brand new rims and took the 2" levelers off. Truck still shakes at around 55-60 mph and is not safe to drive. Bottom line is that i should be able to buy a heavy duty truck and take my family on outings without the chance of crashing because of a defect that dodge could fix. Very upset and have nowhere else to turn. I have no chance of fighting dodge or even a car dealership by myself. Can you help? Truck is still under warranty i have only drove 5 thousand miles in one year since i've owned it.
