GMMerlin,I have done the road force vibraton balancing w/VERY little difference. They broke down each tire at least 3 times and got it to the best possible place for a smooth ride, but it has done very little for it .I went to the beach this weekend and brought my boat home and man what a ride . when you go over 70mph it will shake the drink out of its can while it is sitting in the cupholder.(NO JOKE!!) It was so much more noticable w/the boat behind it. My ? to you is why is it that this truck is smooth as silk up until about 64mph,and then the shake or may I say more like a severe vibration takes over. I have been told that it is probably in the torque converter? That when it gets up to higher speeds it is becoming unbalanced and starts the shaking process ,is this possible?
Thanks for your help!!
