I have a 06 Ram with the 5.7 Hemi. It is up to 71000. I have noticed in the last couple of months that when driving, the truck vibrates. It feels like more than a tire issue. Then today it vibrated horribly, especially around 30 up to 45 and even at 70 the motor just did not feel smooth. I don't think bad gas is it cause yesterday was the same fuel as today and it felt ok. Is there any known issues with these trucks or trans that would make it feel that way? Only thing I did today was change oil(not the brand). It is getting due for a trans filter and fluid change but will that help shuddering? Thanks

Is the shudder felt in the steering wheel or whole truck? When you're on the throttle or coasting? Low engine RPM or high engine RPM? 2wd or 4wd?

It can be felt a little in the steering wheel but mostly I can feel it with my butt. The seats and evrything inside shakes. Is worse accelerating but can still feel it when off of the gas. If I remember at 40-45 the rpm is 2500-2800 then comes down to 2000 at 65-70. In 2wd

Why not start with the easiest things to check first? Hate to see someone tear down their engine or trans then find a bad u joint. JMHO.
First thing to look at are the wheels/tires. Check for straightness, look for missing balance weights and check the tires for cord separation. Best way check for separation is to jack it up, spin the tire and watch for any irregularities on the tread.
