My 1500hd super crew cab has had a harmonic rumble since the second week of ownership. It varies some with speed and load but can be felt through the floor into your feet and be heard easily at all times. It gets progressively louder until it is serviced. The dealer has worked on the problem 4 times in 5 months and it still has the problem. It will go back for a 5th visit this week. *nm
