haha no way, those 24's were riding rough! The chrome was also peeling on a few of them. He gave me the stock steel chrom wheels with tires and so I now have those for winter or when I head to the farm plus a new set of the 20's with brand new tires. I told the guy I knew I could make some cash off them on CL but I priced them around and I would have had to spend money for tires or rims(whichever i didnt use the money on) So instead I can now use my extra money on getting the truck running right. Once that's done I'll start with the looks. (just didnt want the hassle) and yea i got the new set balanced and checked at a shore tire (my brother works there)

I'll be changing out u-joints and o2 sensor tomorrow night!

Well i changed out the o2 sensor and the front and rear u-joints. It got rid of the vibration between 40-60 but when i get around 90 its vibrating pretty rough liks im going over those bumps on the side of the highway. (i know 90 isnt the speed limit but it was vibrating aroun 83-85 so i was seeing if it would still do it now with new u-joints) any ideas?

well you might have to get your drive shaft balanced i know i had this problem changed my u joints and it was fine is your front drive shaft still good might have to replace those u joints too. something was wrong with my front drive shaft i can't remember but i ended up getting one from a salvage yard. im guessing its still something to do with the drive line. or maybe even wheel alignment im not sure

Where did you get them high speed balanced at?

Those with turn **** 4x4 when you put it in 4L is the light suppose to blink? When I put mine in 4L the light stays on, on 4H but blinks on 4L....when it's in 4H that's the only light on. Is it suppose to do this?

The truck needs to be stopped and in neutral to shift into 4L
Had to look through the manual for that one
