I ventured out today on briley parkway without a valid tag because I just had to drive the new truck further then around the block.
I noticed a vibration that came and went at random over 60 mph. Seemed to smooth out at 100mph. Anyone else have this problem?
Also noticed today the sub started making an anoying thump/popping sound even with the radio off. Any ideas on what's wrong.
Thanks in advance guys.

Flat spots are common on these trucks if they sit for many days....or you might try having the tires road force balanced..
just need running, the pirelli's do it. im running general grabbers right now and they do it if i let her sit for a while. in a few miles it goes away. tires just need heating up real good. as far as the sub popping i dont know what to tell you except it should be under warranty. they are crappy. a good aftermarket sub will cure that.

You shouldn't be doing 100 mph thats at least 30 mph over the limit. I'm sure some law enforcement officials here on the site will administer an internet summons forthwith:p
 
Sorry for the type o...I meant to say between 100 and 150...lol
 
i believe there is a TBS (technical service bulletin) on the amp. should be repaired/replaced by dealer, no problemo.
 
There is a TSB on the SUB popping. I don't know it off the top of my head but my old man's truck was doing it (05 RC) and his was replaced under warranty.
 
There is a TB for the sub, had mine replaced before I took it out. also there is one for the amps both of them if the sub ever goes out. If your vibe is still there after you let your tires round out, try checking your drive shaft. I had the same problem. My drive shaft was bent right from the factory. Had it straightend out and rebalanced, and vibe was gone for good.
 
First of all that is a beautiful pic of your truck!!! Great color in that shot.

Subs under warranty, take it in. And like the others have said, tires out of balance or flat spotted. Usually out of balance shows up at 70mph.

First of all, you should never exceed state enforced speed limits. This gives SRT's a bad rep. The 500 h.p. v-10, six speed, good handling, great sound,150 m.p.h. capability, and sexy looks were all marketing gimics to sell trucks. LOL. Great looking truck, dude!
