| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 dodge ram 2500 cummins turbo diesel. Everything was great with my truck up till about may of 2009. While driving home at about 40 mph, i got the "death wobble" on my truck. Extremely scary when it happens to you. Luckily there were no vehicles behind me. I had to come to almost a complete stop for the death wobble to go away. I thought it was going to be a rare thing to happen, but it pretty much happens every time i drive my truck. All i have to do is go over a couple of small ruts or bumps on the road and the truck will get into the death wobble. |
