Q: Truck shakes - 2000 Dodge Ram 2500

asked by on September 08, 2016

My truck has been shaking lately. I put new tires, had the alignment done. I had the pitman and idler arm replaced as well. After all these repairs, the truck still shakes starting at the speed around 56 mph. The shaking is the worst in the 58-61 mph range, then it gradually lessens when I develop the speed of around 68 mph. Why is this happening? What else can I replace to fix this?
