Hmm, they're either balanced incorrectly or they weren't torqued down correctly. The pattern in my aftermarket wheel manual states to torque them down to 100 and then to 140 in the following patter (think clock). 12-6-2-8-4-10. Might give that a try. I had to mess with mine a little before they seated correctly but your balance or road force could be off.

Well I'll give that a shot. 2 of the tire shops said I should probably just get new tires based on the wear, but I'd rather not buy any yet. The tires were smooth as silk going down the highway before I switched rims. Could it be that because these are a little wider they will just vibrate due to wear? Maybe it is the tires.

I have posted on here before when I just had the leveling kit installed, not sure if I have posted since I installed RCX 5". Also added .5 Lower strut tgc spacer, total 5.5" of lift. I am running a 20x10 -12 fuel Mav. with Nitto trails. Do you guys think I could run a 295/60 with lift setup?? I am thinking of going to the Toyo AT II's also. Thanks in advance! attachicon.gifimage.jpeg

Well I took the truck to discount tire this morning instead of the 3 different NTB's I've taken it to look at this. DT took a little bit of weight off and moved the weights to the inside lip of the wheels. Originally they were on the outside edge of the inner wheel. My problem seems to be solved. No vibrations driving into work this morning!

Me too man! I was pretty disappointed at first when I left NTB friday. I got a lot of vibrations when I got on the belway. Figured it was a simple balancing issue, so 2 more trips to NTB and a trip to DT got it taken care of lol. Anyway, hope your buddy is loving the rims the same way I'm loving these!

What is NTB? Discount tire has been great with me, my k02s on my old F150 came from their and they had excellent service! Have treated the wife really well there too, no absurd up selling like our local GM dealer.

I usually use Discount tire for all of my wheel/tire needs. At the time I got my rims over the weekend, NTB was closer so I unfortunately went that route.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
