While tire imbalances usually persist whether you are on or off the gas, the shift in the vehicle's weight when you let off the accelerator can sometimes alter the suspension dynamics enough to mask the vibration.

WrenchConnect diagnosis signals
Damaged mounts can fail to isolate engine and transmission vibrations from the cabin, especially when the drivetrain is under load at highway speeds.
If your truck is 4WD, a worn inner CV joint on the front axles can cause a noticeable side-to-side shake in the steering wheel that only occurs while accelerating and disappears when coasting.
A failing universal joint or an unbalanced driveshaft often causes a vibration that is most noticeable under acceleration or load at specific speeds, and typically goes away when you let off the gas.
