Shaky steering wheel
This is very weird, when im driving on the free way, i get a steer wheel shake in a certain speed range of about 62-72mph. Its just fine at all other ranges. I would think if the tires are out of balance it would shake all the time and not at a certain point. I dont think this has anything to do with it but i do have warped rotor not badly but enough to feel the brake pulsing rather then smooth. Anyone got any ideas on the shaky steering wheel?

I had the same shake on my 98 whenever I go above 60. I was afraid to drive faster than 70 because of the shakes. From the consensus on this forum, I had the shop replaced my steering rack bushing. That was almost two years ago. I was shocked that a few pieces of worned out rubber could cause that. I take my truck to 90s sometimes and it's smooth sailing. You should try replacing the steering rack bushing first because parts cost you less than $20 and if you can do it yourself, that's even better.
If you want to do it yourself, there is a good writeup at :

btw, I got the steering rack bushing kit from energy suspension.

Yea, I have to do mine as well. I have been on the energy suspension website and you are right, NOT user friendly as well. Very difficult to navigate through the parts list and what not. I was going to go with www.wheelersoffroad.com steering rack bushings. It's a very good price as well.
