You could also have a tire or two out of balance. If you take the truck off
road, there's always a good chance you threw a wheel weight. Also,
depending on your mileage and when you last had your wheels balanced is a
factor as well. For max tire life, you should rotate/balance all 4 tires
every 5000-6000 miles. Usually a good rule of thumb is every 2-3
oilchanges. It might not be this since you're saying it's a constant
vibration (this would be more speed sensative) but it's probably worthwhile
to get it done anyway.
