my truck and my last truck both feel good at 120+mph. not long after that they start feeling floaty. it might just be the tires.

It was me that broke the driveshaft. I found out that the aluminum driveshafts only on the extended cab 4x4's can only go up to 130 then they snap in half. I found out that the critical speed is around 125-130. It is cause they are so long. Well hope this helps. Later, Jared
