Answer
Scott,
  I don't know how I missed this question. It didn't come into my mail box like it should have... Sorry for the delay. To your question.
  You don't give me much to go on. There could be 4-5 reasons you are getting a vibration. Have there been any repairs done to the truck before this started? Did this just all of a sudden begin or has it gradually gotten worse? What size engine in the truck? You state passing gear so it is an automatic. Is it 4 wheel drive? Has the engine been changed? New U-Joints? New tires? New wheels?  
  I need a lot more information before giving you an educated guess. I'll be home all weekend so just let me know. Give me as much information as you can. The more information, the easier it is do diagnose something without seeing the vehicle. There is no such thing as too much information.
