Try another dealer, that one sounds like tgeir heads are so far up their asses it may be stuck for good.

I work for Horne out in apache junction. If ya need one to work on your truck, go in and see Roy, and tell him Tony sent you. Im the diesel guy on his team, and he'll take good care of you.

Yeah I would try another dealer. It's most likely the track bar ball joint. Mine was shot at just shy of 30000 miles, had it changed under warranty. Next one is gonna be a OUO ball joint for sure...

I had a similar problem with my '12, ecsb gas work truck. Has utility body and a lot of weight on the rear axle. Also has 12k winch and bumper up front. Local dealer found a TSB on older (08-10 or something like that ) with weight in the bed. Found it changed the castor enough to cause a problem. They adjusted the castor, and it helped. It's not cured, as when tires are near wore out it creeps back. But overall it's significantly better. Before, if I was going down the highway and it started, I literally had to slow to below 35 or so, so mine was pretty serious. Also significantly worse on wet roads. I think I still have the alignment sheet with what they changed. I'll look tomorrow and post results. This was first noticed around 25k miles on the clock. Trucl doesn't have a dampener, but my 02 didn't either and I never had a problem in 310,000 miles. While I realize my 02 was leaf sprung, the castor plays a big part in how death wobble is achieved.

Do you have anything done to the suspension? Or significant weight added anywhere?

No. All stock. Dealership told me they had a tsb on everything before 08 to change castor but they have made those changes to newer model trucks. Another local tire shop that is very reputable check alignment and they said it was fine also...I doubt I will get anyone to change castor outside of factory specs.
