What is low speed?

Is the vibration audible, or do you just feel it?

Where on the truck does the vibration appear to be coming from?

Does the vibration change when you apply the brakes?

Does the vibration change when you turn the steering wheel?

Speeds around 15 to 20. The vibration comes and goes around that speed. And you can hear more than you can feel it. Sounds like it's coming from the rear.

At low speeds and constant throttle setting, DOD is a lot more pronounced, which is a possibility. It can become more pronounced if the mot mount(s) need replacing. Failed motor mounts, especially the driver’s side one, are a common issue with these trucks.

Verify you’re not just experiencing DOD, at low speeds.

I noticed the same thing at that speed, and it definitely was the dod/afm engaging. I started using manual shift mode pretty quickly after that to inhibit the mode.

I bought a Range device soon after. Then learned about the ability to switch it off with a tune.

What is the speed of the vibration? Wheel speed? Engine or drivetrain speed? You try tow/haul mode to see if it goes away?

Around 15 to 20 miles an hour may just end up taking it to the dealership and no haven't tried tow/haul mode.
