update
the truck is back at the shop today to have the alignment checked, i too think it is a camber/caster problem as i have checked and or replaced everything else. i had the tires balanced to take that off the table also.
i should have word later today and i will let everyone know.
i do appreciate all the posts and all the help.

update
i just got word that the alignment seems to be the issue.
seems the first person who aligned the truck was not capable and caused the problem.
they are fixing now and i should have my truck back and wobble free tomorrow.
i will post a final update after I test drive her.

i had a feeling that would be the problem...
mystery solved
well as sad as it is to admit I found the issue giving me the death wobble.
seems when I was installing my new upper a arms on my truck I put them on the wrong side, right on left and left on right.
so in short I caused it myself.
all fixed now.
thanks for all the help, sorry to have been the cause of my own issue.

good deal. glad to hear its resolved. you learn everyday.
I too have experienced the "death wobble" and it was something I hope I don't have to go thru ever again. I have a 2001 XLT with about 119k miles on it. I started getting the death wobble a few months ago. I found out my inner / outer tie rods both right and left fronts were bad. So loose you could grab them and wiggle / giggle them around, real easily (NOT COOL). Then my idler arm was shot as well. Once I got all new tie rods, idler arm, wheel balance, and front end alignment done, no more death wobble.
