I noticed about a year ago that at certain speeds, my F350 would start gyrating at around 45 mph, and around 60 mph. At times, the shaking is nearly uncontrollable. I have been able to get it under control by either hitting the brakes, or accelerating to at least 70 mph. Either way, I have heard that this is a known issue with SuperDuty trucks within my year/make/model of truck. I would like to have this repaired so it doesn't cause any serious damage to either my vehicle, or someone else's vehicle, or more importantly, so that I can have a truck that is safe to drive. I have heard the term "death wobble" was coined for this issue, and I know that there is a lawsuit pending to have Ford fix it. I don't want to spend thousands of dollars replacing parts that aren't going to fix the issue though.
The ride is like a gravel truck driving on a rutted gravel road. Wheels of the back of the of the truck come off the road when it bits a bump on the city street. Complaints off back problems.
Update from Jun 22, 2016: It is a F150 King Ranch not a F350
