All opinions are appreciated. The front end was aligned with all steering components checked for wear and function. The wheels were checked for trueness and balanced. This was in a reputable shop, but they could have overlooked something.
With the transmission in the bed, the symptoms have returned yesterday. I checked one rear wheel bearing and found it loose. Tightened it up, but no change on the test drive. This problem is driving me slightly crazy to the point that I may have to put it in a diagnostic shop and let them sort it out. This is against my principles, but driving 40 mph for the life of the vehicle is not really what I want to do. Other than the "bounce" problem, the pickup is in great condition getting 42 mpg (US gallon), starts easily, and has lots of pep due to the BAE turbo. I have been driving it for 11 years and it just now has 100,000 miles on it.
Thanks for the help,
EJ
