Happy Sunday funday. Hopefully I will be able to make it to the Pomona drags today for the finals. I hope that everyone has a great day!
Happy Sunday. Our truck got the shakes yesterday coming back from Havasu? Felt like all the tires were footballs. The truck was shaking and vibrating so violently. Limped back to Parker with a top speed of 30 mph. Going back to Havasu and need to grab a rental car. WTF?
YIKES! Im glad you guys made it bavk in one piece. Hopefully it's not an expensive fixHappy Sunday. Our truck got the shakes yesterday coming back from Havasu? Felt like all the tires were footballs.

Possibly wheel weights? I lost a few on my old car. The tires hopped like a son of a bitch after 45 mphGood morning everyone.
No advice to offer Joe, but what truck do you have?
2006 GMC Crew cab 6.0 gas 4x4 short bed. Stock, no lift kit.Good morning everyone.

You know. ... I just had balance and rotation a couple of weeks ago. I pulled over when this happened thinking maybe a flat. The rear passenger tire was missing a weight. I changed that tire with the newly balanced spare and it did not fix the problem.Possibly wheel weights? I lost a few on my old car. The tires hopped like a son of a bitch after 45 mph

Sorry to jack your morning thread, Bobby.

Just did a walk around. Can't see anything out of the ordinary.Good morning everyone. Look and see if you have tire separation.
Gotcha. Sweet spot was 30mph. No vibrating or shaking. As we increased speed the vibrating increased. Slow speeds we are fine.Good morning all! Sounds like you have a tire that is separating. Sometime they are hard to see with your eye.
Rusty's
First time - it was good!Love that place.
Truck's driver side rear tire was separating. Just hung up with Lane. Really glad it was nothing expensive! Guess we are going back this weekend to pick it up.
Thanks all for the help.
Joe
Parker & Havasu sure could use a tire shop that is open on Sunday's, especially for trailer tires.
Look at the bright side Joe, you get to go back this weekend. [emoji111]

Business opportunity , work weekends. Boat all week [emoji202]
There ya go, and sell killer breakfast burritos with chorizo. [emoji106]
And I will add... Parker Shuttle Rocks :thumbsup John, Jeanette and J.R. drove us around Parker the rest of Saturday, Saturday night and then up to Enterprise Car Rental in Havasu on Sunday. Cool people and a great service.
Parker Shuttle: 928-453-0033 / 928-249-4222
And Natalie at Enterprise hooked up us. Even with the one way drop fee (Havasu to Oceanside) the late model, very clean Chevy Impala was $117. That's how much gas for the truck costs
So we will do the same thing this weekend. We'll rent and drop off back in Havasu. And maybe eat at Rusty's again.
Stop rubbing it in. [emoji202]
Glad it is a easy fix. I didn't want to drive my truck out in April to launch your boat. The wife would be mad that she didn't get to drive her new car [emoji12]
April is right around the corner
Weather is looking good for the weekend:
Yes it is. I have a long 10 weeks ahead of me on the books. I hope it goes fast. And the looks of it , after April we will be packing up after the trip.
