LBJ Failing??

[RunningForNow]

Update: I took it to my local Les Schwab and asked them to do a road force balance on all four wheels. As it turns out, when I got tires at Pep Boys, they didn’t put ANY weight on any of the wheels. I got the tires there because they were on sale, but I’m reluctant to go back there again.

The tech said he was able to get very close to 0 for all four wheels, and all wheels were off before, way off. After I left, I took a drive for about 20 miles on the freeway, doing around 70-75. No wobbling whatsoever. Smooth as butter. The truck feels great now, all thanks to you guys’ suggestion.

Really appreciate the help from you all!

Hate to be that guy, but we told you. Wheel balancing was the fix. But, glad your wobble-free now.

Dang!!! Close to 'zero' is impressive considering the tire size.

Balanced like a sports car(truck) now.

Congrats!

Well, I didn’t see it in writing, but the result speaks volumes. The truck does not wobble anymore.

Wow, that's crazy. Was Pep Boys in a rush and just forgot to balance tires?
I agree "very close to zero" is very impressive. Congrads on your fix!

Who knows. I’m just glad it’s fixed. I shopped between Les Schwab and Pep Boys when I got my tires, and the price difference was about $270, so I went with Peo Boys instead.
