number of things tires, ujoints, alignment, loose or worn suspension parts or other things define the shake? and have you recently got your vehicle alignment done?

Balance could be off. Sometimes treadwear is slightly uneven and it gradually throws the balance out of whack, which you often don't feel except at certain speeds. It would be a cheap, easy fix if that's what it is.

I've got a '99 1500 Suburban, that I bought in 2000, and have the same issue.
I've changed 3 sets of wheels, 4 sets of tires, Brake rotors, tie rod ends, 3 different brands of shocks, multiple alignments and balance jobs....ease up to 66 and TADA there it is. Flabber gasted I am.
