make sure your tires are balanced properly and are not missing any weights. You can also check your alignment, and/or check for worn out front end components (tie rods, ball joints, etc).

Also, how are your brakes? Maybe you have a wharper rotor, are all lug nuts tight.

There could be a million possibilities. Good luck.

Every time the custom 700R4 shifts.

Where does shake feel from? Does it come through the steering wheel or does the whole truck shake? Did it just start? Did you recently do a brake job or other suspension work? Rotate the tires? >>>>>>>>>

My truck was doing exactly what you are describing. I went to my local tire shop, they checked it out and changed the rotors for me, fixed the problem. No more shaking!!!
