I have a 2020 rsm 2500 diesel tradesman. I have a shake on the front end. Dealer said rotors are warped. I have 34500 K miles on it. It's 3 months old. I changed out rotors and tires and still have a shake. It's worse the i press brakes. Any suggestions ?

very interesting......... have you tried switching tires front to back? Check wheel and rotor runout? are the wheel to hub mating surfaces absolutely clean? Are hub bearings good? Condition of steering components? It doesn’t take much wear to cause wobbles/ vibrations on these trucks.

I would check the ball joints and tie rods

I've checked all of those. Dealer changed out steering damper to no avail. New tires. I'm going to change out front pads this weekend to see if that could be the problem. Pads my not be sliding on the brake clips. Going to dab a lil grease on the clips when I replace the pads. If that doesn't work, I'm lost

Thank you. Now I ever have a much bigger issue. Had to have my 2020 ram towed to the dealer yesterday morning. Received a call this morning and they said I had metal shaving in my fuel system. It's still under warranty but it worries me. Praying I didn't buy a LEMON

I wonder if it could be surging. I have the gasser and when I come to a stop sometimes I get a kind of shake but it's fore and aft not side to side. To me it feels like the transmission is downshifting rapidly and/or there's some weird throttle action going on. I know a couple times coming to a stop the engine would shut off and the gear rotor would flash an error. It's almost like it stalls out.... go figure with an automatic
