HI, it's so simple no one can figure it out. I drive normal until the truck reaches 45 mph. Then it starts to hop or shake. as I get to 50 mph it stops. I get tired of it because most speeds are 45 around here. Thanx, JimBo

Have yuo had the rims checked for being bent? There is a balancer on the market it is a Hunter GSP9700 It will find problems with wheel and tires and tell you where to mount the tire on the rim for the least amount of vibration. It will also tell you where to put the tire/wheel assy on the vehicle to get the least amount of vibration and pull. You can go to http://www.gsp9700.com/ to learn more and to find someone in your area that has it. I have fixed numerous vehicles for vibrations that other shops could not find with this machine.

I hope this helps. Please click the Accept button to close the question.
