J-Madd Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yea it's due for a brake job for sure. Pulling a big trailer with no trailer brakes has them worn pretty good. No wobble from the rotors though. Yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaegerEliminator Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yes oem turbo. Are they different on the newer 6.7s? Death wobble started last summer. Front tires are bald, so I don't know if that affects it. I have 6 new tires going on it soon. I've read about shimming something to fix the death wobble or some type of track bar to bandaid it. It has gotten progressively worse, so I'm hoping the new tires help. Yes, the newest 6.7s went to a new single turbo. I don't know the exact details. I've been told the early hybrid turbos had some flaws. I'm pretty surprised you're experiencing the death wobble. I have gad zero death wobble issues on my 6 different Super Duties. Sounds like your front end is out of alignment or something. What circumstances set off the death wobble? I've personally seen one Dodge truck, an early 2000's model, do it. It was loaded down with a pallet of very heavy bricks. Front end was very nose high. Thing was all over the highway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 It drives flawless unless both front tires hit a bump at the same time. Then it starts an oscillating in the front end that will NOT stop without applying the brakes and slowing to around 40 mph or less. If I see a bump in the road and turn a tad or hit it with only one tire it doesn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1HDR Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I've never had it happen towing.My truck did that once. I replaced the shocks and it never did it again. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 There are horror stories of people replacing damn near every part in the front end and still having the death wobble. If I knew shocks would fix it I would do that. I had a shop look at it and they didn't find anything wrong. Honestly I don't think they gave a shit or even looked at it.

F1HDR Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hmmm.... BIL tells me all the ones he's done have been in multiple steps.Fastener lube eliminates the need for torque cycles. And honestly I've probably overhauled well over a hundred diesel engines of all shapes and sizes and never re-torqued anything.

Juststrokeit Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Thinking about looking at this.. Here is what I know.. EFI live w/ dsp5 switch S&B cold air intake Air Dog 165 fuel system Cognito tie rod sleeves 3" MBRP Downpipe 5" Straight pipe Magnaflow exhaust 6" MBRP tip 20x10 Chrome Fuel Hostages 33x12.50 Toyo open countrys 6k HIDs w/ fog lights Interior LED lights 165k miles Not to mention it's loaded.. I love this body style and interior style.. The bucket leather seats are my favorite! What do you guys think? It'll be used for daily driver most the time.. Light towing.. Maybe a 5th wheel, car trailer, etc... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
