If it were me, I would return the truck because neither dealer offered to put OEM AC DELCO shocks on to attempt to duplicate the issue.

You could, out-of-pocket, have OEM ACDELCO shocks installed. I looked up on Rockauto.com and your shocks run about $50 a piece.

Just came to thought, if this is like a HD or 3500 series, I will play devils advocate and lean on the side that these HD trucks tend to be squirrely in the *** end with no weight in the bed. I don't know what your prior vehicle history is, but this is really the only other thing I can think of.

Thanks Mike for the information. You are the second guy that has said something about the Shocks. I called a dealerships in KY., and made an appointment for the first. They sound promising after I told him about the problem that I'm having. We will see and I will let you know how it goes. Thank you gain.

I can't get a dealerships to begin eliminating things to find the real problem . A brand new truck that drives like crap the worst driving vehicle I have ever had. I can't do any or it will Violate my Warrenty. What should I do? Only 6000 miles to date.

Who installed these. They are not from the factory.

Upon further research, the factory installs these as one of the options.

Look for the X31 Off-Road package and you will see the Rancho shocks...
