Violent Shake

Or,,, you could get another frame and move the truck to it

If I could get a section of the frame and weld it in I would do that, but replacing the entire frame would take too long. My wife needs something to drive now.

If you could find a similar model that needs some TLC as yours did, you might come out by using the best parts of each truck

To me it sounds like the tread is separating from the tire. When the tire is cold and when the separation is just beginning, it’ll balance perfectly. As you ride down the road and the rubber heats up, the part that is starting to separate just swings out a touch further than the rest of the rubber, and it’s like putting a big wheel wait on one side.

There is a simple but tedious way to check it: take one tire off and put the spare on, and drive the truck. If it still does it, swap the next tire, etc. Obviously, when you swap the tire and it no longer shakes, that’s the bad guy.

A big, actually giant, caution. You can have the tiniest little bit of separation and get the violent shaking you have. Some people think “well, I’ll just go slow till I can get a new tire.” Figure it out and get it fixed ASAP, cause a hair later than the annoyance of the shaking, that tire will come apart violently, explosive with no warning, flapping big pieces. Literally. With every respect to the Ranger aficionados, when the tire comes apart it can take the fender and more with it.

That’s Rick’s advice today from the Vegas strip (no rangers here???).

Hope it helps.

The guy on page one found his to be the frame separating from his steering
