Has anyone had the "Death" Wobble on the 03 & 04's

I just experienced the Death Wobble on my 03 CTD 2500 4X4, and I'll tell you, it was NOT FUN in any way! I was traveling in the inside lane of I-15 northbound and was just approaching an overpass, and it happened. My speed was 75 MPH, and I was not carrying any load. I have traveled over this same spot on many occasions, and never had a problem. I now have 34,000 on the odometer. Dealer looked at it and saidEVERYTHING IS GOOD........................................NO PROBLEMS FOUND.
I have reported this to the NHTSA. If anyone has experienced this perhaps you should also report it www.nhtsa.gov
