So what did you do with your truck today?

[Sidewinded_idi]

Changed out my cab bushings the other day in an attempt to rid myself of a heinous random clunking. It seems to have worked, but that brought to light just how bad my tire imbalance is.

I thought I knew which tire it was. Swapped it out yesterday and I think it's worse

Swapped my two left drive tires to my steers and visa versa. Hopefully it'll help.

I have new steers on the way... but doesn't it figure they're on back order!I emailed requesting a lead time and their reply was

So basically no help at all.

If they don't contact me by Friday night, I'll be calling. I realize it's "tire season" but cmon, am I waiting a week or a month? Ugh!

Order a set of balance beads! I run them in all my tires. Work so much better than weights

Yeah well I could try that but I'd like to get a set of good tires lol! The two causing the vibration are load range G trailer tires. Between that and the noticeable hydroplaneing in the rain, with the snow coming I just need decent steer tires.

Good news is swapping the wheels around helped quite a bit, the vibration is still there, but it's not rattling my teeth loose anymore!

Oh wow! I always wondered how trailer tires would work on a truck

Honestly I haven't really had an issue until lately. Had them on the rear for about a year (ever since I bought it) with no problems. Not quite sure why they're wobbly now but oh well.

Do any faster driving? Lol
That could do it. Most trailer tires aren't rated very high speed wise.

Can't remember, fastest I've had it was 65-70. Now you're gonna make me read the sidewall to check speed rating lol!

Most ST tires are 65 or less. Just FYI.

I swapped motors in my 85 this past weekend. Purged the lines and she started right up!
