    I am back . I posted some videos and links on youtube involving my truck and its shaking and vibrating a couple months back . I had some luck with limiting my shaking on the highway. did a lot of tire balancing and re balancing at a couple different tire shops!! had the driveshaft replaced too . I just got tired of trying to get it completely fixed. I just drive slower and turn the music up louder. so anyways I have been noticing my truck seems to be vibrating worse when idling so when I took it in for an oil change I asked if they could perform the 3mm shim to see if that helps . I even pulled up a link that I found that shows the instructions on how to perform the procedure but they just don't do anything about it. I neeed the dang TSB code everybody is talking about . I wish that truck would just catch on fire sometimes . any help please and thanks!!

    Ok just to update on my vibration problems. I decided to take matters into my own hands . I lifted the back of my truck up to see the back tires spinning. low and behold the back left wheel/ tire is wobbling . Not much but it looks like this could be the problem . I pulled the wheel and tire off and had it checked at a tire shop and it seems to be fine . But when I mount it to the truck it wobbles . The problem seems to be with the adapter that is mounted to the trucks factory lug bolts . It seems to be defective . My wheels are chevy 22" wheels . I am going to request some wheels that do not require adapters . I will have an update in a week when I get my truck into service

    Dang sorry to hear ! Well I think there is hope for my truck . Sounds like yours was doomed. Can't believe it didn't start with balancing the tires 5 times !

    Could you make a video using a water bottle in the console like I have and also post on YouTube? Trying to get some video evidence gathered ? please!?

    And also I had a 2011 with the same lift and tires/ rim size and it did not have any issues with this much vibration. but to answer your question I have considered the lift to be part of the problem but the dealer has not found anything wrong with the lift . Had a new drive shaft installed that helped a little and the tires force balanced twice . My salesman said the others he has sold with exact same lift and wheel combo are not having the problems I am ...

    Well I don't have a spare 60k $ truck to compare it to in my possession so I'm working with what I got a 25k$ Ford . That's why I asked if someone like yourself could post one . Did you read that part?
  14. jimbo51685
    Well as I was researching the vibration issue some more I decided to make a quick video of my idle vibration . If someone who has a smooth riding truck could create one to show it is not just engine related that would be cool! So here is my truck idle with some vibration .

    I'll try that next time I hit the highway. In the meantime I will just try to not think about it . Kinda ruins the entire weekend after u pick up your new truck on Friday after it was in the shop for the third time in the past month and it's not any better.
