...I'm actually leaning toward a misbalanced tire.
If I hit a bump in the road, above 50mph, and the vibration starts, and cresendos up from there. Taping the brakes is enough to stop it, if I do it early enough, but if I don't, I'll have slow to 45mph.
I remembered having the same problem with an old F-150 I had..
As I recall, I pulled the valve stem, added a few ounces of antifreeze, and drove it till she dropped..
So I guess that'll be next..

Yeah, I'm going to grab a jack, and see what I can find.. I found it comes on, usually at speed ~60-65, and that pressing on the brakes, even momentarily will diminish it. (I do apparently have a warped rotor in front though.)
