I had a similar problem, it turned out to be the front U joints. Have them checked very soon! I drove mine for a while before fixing and my tires were ready to fall off. Could have caused a very bad accident.
vibrations in the truck and the steering wheel moving im assuming small movements left and right sounds like you have a broken tred or belt in one of the tires i would start with the front ones because of the movement in the steering wheel. it dosent do it at lower speeds because it takes a certian speed to cause the tire to roll out of balance this is probily the feeling you are getting in the steeringwheel and in the truck over a certain speed. its had to spot but sometimes you can jack up the car and spin the wheel by hand without removing the wheel to see if there are any lumps or high and low spots in the tire as it turns. as i said start with the front tires they are the ones that will cause the steeringwheel to move like that.. if you have tires that are under warranty they might do this check for you. the car will stay in allignment and hold good pressure if this is the problem.
I had the same issue with my lincoln LS. You may need an alignment. Many shops off the service and the work is usually an hour or so. This will help with drift feelings and the wondering you mentioned.
Have your tire's check, if you rota the two front tire's from left to right keep them in the front or go to a tire shop where they can do this for you, go on a road test, if your car start's to pull the other way and your tire's are still good rota your tire's from front to rear you'll be ok, good luck, hope this was very helpful.
In a lot of GM and Chevys the intermediate steering link will lose grease and cause a clunk-like feeling while turning and braking. There is a TSB for such a problem. The dealer may still warranty the repair. You can take your truck into a local shop and they'll shake down the front end for about 1/2 hour labor to see if anything is wrong. About 80% of the time a pull is caused by a lateral tire pull or even a bad tire. Check your air pressures as well.
I would rotate tires front to rear and see what happens. If it goes away I would suspect the tire now on the right rear after that rotation. If not, possible suspension problem like worn bushings and/or worn out tie rod end(s).
