Help!! - Truck began to shake violently on highway at 70 MPH
Has anyone ever experienced an EXTREME virbration/shaking of their truck at highway speeds after hitting a small patch of rough pavement?

While driving on highway at approx 60-70 MPH I drove over a series of small bumps/potholes in the highway (probably an area of 5 - 6 feet). The truck started to shake VIOLENTLY and did not recover even though pavement was smooth after. This shaking was EXTREME!!! and persisted for more then 500 feet... I had difficultly keeping control of the truck... it felt like I had blown two front tires. It persisted until I was able to slow down to about 30 MPH. Then it seemed it stopped. I pulled over got out and expected to see my front tires blown... but everything looked normal. Got back in and drove on with no problem for more then a week.. but it happened again today! The truck ('06 Crew Cab short box 5.9) has 55K miles and until this week I'd never had any problem like this before. The shaking was front to back (no side to side rolling) and very fast. I tow a fifth wheel and I'm sure I would have lost the trailer (or tore my hitch off) if I had been towing.

Anyone else ever experience this kind of thing???
