probably a stupid question... but how is the tire wear on the front
tires? When the steering wheel vibrates, i think it's usually a front
suspension problem. Not shure why it would be the engine. I guess that
if it was severe enough it would make the rest of the truck ( including
the gas pedal ) shake.
You might also have someone drive in a different vehicle and take some
video of the truck from different angles. Maybe the video will show
something shaking on the truck? I see vibrating wheels on cars all the
time and wonder if the person driving knows that it looks like their tire
is about to vibrate off. Just a thought.
