Tire problems

Sounds like a warped rotor

Another viable option, but why would it not do it with the old tires?

2WD should not need a stabilizer, only the bigger trucks with the solid front axles. Man I hope you find your problem. that can get dangerous in a hurry as bad as it sounds. I know on my 1 tons, if it started doing that, it was hard to control where you were going.

I wonder if the tires may be out of round? Had this before also.

This is where I would place my bet. Out of round should balance, but not ride well. I would assume improper storage could be the cause.

I am almost positive it is the tires from what you have said. Had the same problem with DT a few years ago and have had several customers with it as well. I had to put another set of wheels and tires on my truck to prove to them it was the tires. Do you know anyone that would possibly let you borrow there wheels?

This

They could have bent a rim on the initial tire change, or if theyre alloy wheels, maybe they need to be torqued. But i bet its a left front rim. Try rotating them and see if the vibration moves. In the steering wheel is front vibration, in the seat is rear tire vibration. Good luck with whatever it is

Highly probable! Good advice

My bet would be that they bent a rim the first time they worked on it.

Have someone drive beside you on the interstate and see if they can see which tires it is. It sounds like they should be able to see the tire shake while going down the highway.
Maybe your tie rods and/or ball joints are shot. How many miles are on your truck?

If something is bad in your front end they would have seen it when they did the 2 alignments.

Taxi,
I went through this SAME EXACT THING! And sounds crazy but after many balances, new tires and back and for the it turned out to be the rear u-joint on the drive shaft! Apparently I couldn't feel it with the old, balder tires. The new tires made it very apparent. I know it sounds crazy but check your u-joints.

Haha just had mine fixed yesterday for the same exact problem. And 75 miles and hour it was bad.
But I could feel mine with old and new tires.

But I think he has a tire or rim issue most likely.

Feel the tread all the way around to see if it's flat, had a similar problem with a set of kumhos once, finally found the funky tire surface, it felt kinda wavy all the way around and would shake your teeth loose at about 70 mph.

54,000 and both alignment places said they check all those parts, like dropem said.

I'm running out of options ... it won't hurt to have them checked out.

Ask Discount to load balance the tires. I had a set of Cooper ST's that took like 10 ounces of lead to balance on a couple tires. They did the load balance, and it tells them to dismount and remount the tire in a different alignment on the rim. After that, it only took about a half ounce to balance. Of course these were a 35" tall 15" wide tire that weighed 75 pounds, but the theory is the same.

It's called ride match ... they did it on the two new fronts, yesterday.

Did you run the same tire before? I had those tires and let me tell you they were junk

[SCORPION KING]

Cheap tires !!!!!!
