Do you have stock size tires on it, or larger. You might need a stabilizer if you have bigger tires. Or you could have a belt slipping in one of the tires. Does it do it when turning left, right or both directions?

Do you have a lift or any suspension mods? Might help to diagnose with a little more info. Please post all info on your truck and someone will get back to you. thanks

Does it also do it when your driving on a straight road, or any particular speed?
