2014 F350 Vibration
We bought a 2014 F350, my dealer told me I needed to drive my new truck 1,000 miles before I towed with it. Yesterday I hit the mark and today I hooked up the trailer for a test drive. All was great, ...

Well I'm not a "Dodgeboy" and I don't drink blue Kool-Aid, I do know from experience that this phenomenon does not "take out u-joints and carrier bearings in short order". My 2006 F350 ran at well over 400 rwhp for most of the 88,000 miles (35% towing heavy loads) that I owned it, had this shutter the entire time and never experienced any of these failures. The same truck made probably 30 or 40 full boosted launches in 4wd on the street and at the track and still didn't experience these failures.
Yes it is annoying, but no the sky isn't falling. What you are experiencing is very minor and of little consequence other than it just feels weird. If it was as much of an issue as some would have you believe, people would be lined up at parts stores buying carrier bearings and U-joints. I managed a small fleet of Superduty trucks (F-250 through F-550) and don't recall replacing u-joints or carrier bearings even on trucks with over 150,000 hard miles on them.
I worry about this issue even less than I worry about having a "Ford shameful event" with my HPFP. What ever happened to that guy? People quit listening, Ford maintained top market share and you just don't hear that drum being beat anymore!
