| Description of the problem | i bought an extra clean 07 2500 4/4 megacab 6. 7 in june of this year. Had upper and lower moog ball joints,tie rod ends and rods where needed,plus new damper at 169k mi. Put a set of new shocks on the other day,truck is factory height,but has 285s instead of 265s. Just today it went into a death wobble on a wet concrete interstate after hitting a very small pot hole on left. I was runnin about 70 and damn near lost it. Luckily there was nothing on shoulder cause i couldn't keep it in my lane. Thank god my wife or daughters weren't driving! Help!! I dread testing it again after someone claims to have fixed it,since it took 6 mos. To show up and only seems to happen at dangerously high speeds.
