Always occurs at speeds above 55 mph seeming to result after a slight bump or seam in the road is passed. For instance after hitting a bridge seam at 65 mph experienced sudden, violent vibration that only resolved after the truck slowed considerably. Couldn't effectively steer just held on and luckily didn't hit other cars but that was due to evasive action by other drivers. |
