I just bought a 2016 Ford F250 Super Duty gas earlier this week. Yesterday early in the day and today late in the day I'm driving on the highway and it seems when I go over a rough patch in the road that the entire front end shakes so bad that it's like a tire is fixing to fly off of my truck and I'm just wondering has anybody else dealt with this what the problem may be anything will help thank you

Dual won't do much. Don't waste your money, and that Ford guy is full of $hit. Tires, alignment caster, worn suspension ball joints/track bar ends, steering tie rods and box... etc
You really have to get to the bottom of it. It can be almost anything in the front end. But yeah caster is the magic item.
As for driving off the lot and getting the death wobble, happened to my father's 19, they replaced track bar and hasn't come back since. Combination of alignment and shifty parts. Ford isn't an amazing vehicle, these trucks are cash cows for fords bottom line. They cheap out on most things to pad the stockholds returns. You can get parts that are bad from the factory.

No, but Bob does house calls. He told me he would fly to you free of charge for Xmas. A pack of PBR would make it worth it for him. Thanks for being a stand up guy Bob! 😁
Sorry, Bob is really busy this time of year. We love Bob though. Can you jack up the front of the truck and verify if any components are worn or loose? I usually do a 100k suspension refresh on my vehicles. By 100k most of the time they've seen their lifespan for how I drive.
I'm gonna put 6 stabilizers on! It'll keep me from wobbling when I get out for that DWI test.LOL, I just came across a random youtube video the other day. It was from Texas and a guy asking what are the most reliable trucks, etc. Of course a 7.3 was #1
Anyway, the shop the kid was talking to said the newer fords are known for the death wobble.
They said front end parts and bad tires will make the issue worse. They also said they swear by dual stabilizers and it will cure the death wobble
That's when I quit watching. sure if your stabilzers are like my fox's and it holds the steering wheel in place from a turn, it will help some but it's not going to cure the issue or prevent it. and most stabilizers aren't that stiff and it unsafe
just thought I'd share it. I should find the video to post it here...
