m998 30-45 mph vibration issue

[Mad M998]

Any thoughts on my new m998 having a really bad front end vibration between 30 and 45 mph in cold weather? Wheels balanced, alignment done recently. New to these vehicles and no mechanics(that i found) in Central Nebraska to help. Thanks !

Transfer not in high lock by any chance? If you had an alignment, the shop should have caught any ball joint, wheel bearing, or tie rod issues.

The United States is not a valid location, please put your state in that spot.

Mine had a bad shake when I got it. A new idler arm took care of it. Could yours be bad and been overlooked?

Is the vibration in the steering wheel or in your feet?

In the steering wheel, check steering u-joints, donkren's idler arm and drag link, tie rod ends, steering gear box for any play.
In your feet, check ball joints, brake pads and rotors, drive shaft and carrier bearing. Also check the half shafts for any play or loose bolts.

Very possible, but dont you need a new center link with idler too? Mine is 1987.Didnt have enough time to crawl underneath yet, busy at work.

No vibration in steering wheel, in my feet sir .

Center link should be solid metal with holes in it, never changed one of those unless it was damaged. Not saying that it wouldnt need to be inspected for hole wear if steering arm nut or drag link nut happen to come loose.

Also traveling on uneven roads the truck wanders to the left or right
