Truck shaking.

[slims]

My truck has a bad shake at 65mph-75mph and i feel sort of like a bump like something is loose or the engine is missing. Motor runs and sounds good at every other speed and the ride is smooth as I could ever expect it to be at other speeds. This morning my brakes made a little noise and started grinding so I'm about to change the rotors and pads. What you guys think? Could the shake be a warped rotor or result of crappy brakes? Would a u joint or any other problem make it shake only at that mph?

Check your ball joints, tie rod ends and idler arm also.

Found the problem. The ole lady must have ran I to a curb or something. Bent and warped.

Looks like the rotor took a hit too.

Dad says that I'm retarded and if that was the problem it would shake all the time. He can't see it move up and down when I spin it.

It doesn't seem like something that would just be at higher speeds

Probably outta fix it anyway, though

Gonna cost around $300 for those. I might change the brakes and rebalance the tires and see what it does first.

I was going to say tire. Let us know how that works out

Changed the rotors, pads, thermostat, rebalanced all 4 tires and took my throttle body off for a cleaning after looking in there and seeing how nasty it looked.

Truck rides a lot smoother. It's still a little shaky but I can definitely live with it for a while.

I was going to say tires out of balance. But I see you've done that. When they balance them do they use a road force type balancer? Or just a normal one? The road force one does a better job. What it does is put some force on the tread of the tire while it balances them. The local tire place in town has one.
