That leads me to believe it's a tire issue...which would explain why it stops once the tires warm up. BTW, it should only do it when you accelerate quickly up to highway speeds. If you accelerate slowly, you probably won't experience the shake.
It's very interesting that you say this.... My wife has a 2005 Honda Accord that we bought new. The Accord came with Bridgestone tires on it, and we have the EXACT same problem that I am having with my new truck. The tires now have 50K on them, and it's almost time to replace them. I am hoping that a new set of tires (Michelin's) will fix her problem. I wonder if the dealer will fix my problem even though I have 2,000 miles on the truck. Any thoughts?
