Hi all, newbie here-

I just picked up an '06 1500 with the 4.7 and tow package/offroad package a few months ago, it has 14,000 miles.

Recently, I noticed a hard pulling to my left at all speeds, and at 60+ mph, a big vibration when you cut the wheel right (which you have to do anyways to overcome the pull), and more vibration when you brake at 60+ mph.

I had my front right tire balanced, and it did nothing. I have a full warranty, but as usual, my dealer "could not replicate the problem" after having the truck for 2 days, performing "an inspection" and found no alignment issues. They claimed the tires weren't worn properly, that there is a slight cup on one of them, but nothing else.

I'm thinking maybe I can try rotating the tires...going back to the dealer is such a pain. I know if I drove the truck with them in it, I can rattle their teeth out. I don't even know if they drove the thing or not...it doesn't sound like it. I love car dealers.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Thank you!

 

go ahead and rotate them, if the problem moves with the tire, try having it "road force" balanced. Often this will correct problems overlooked by a conventional balancing...

 

Got snow in your rims/tires?
