</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>anyone had problems with frame vibrations on 99-2005 silverados? If so how did you fix it? I had a good ride until I put 10 ply tires on and now my ride is very bad. Lots of vibration and my front end of the truck feels very loose. I am ready to buy new tires or sell the truck. Please help!

did you mess with anything when changing the tires? or was it just a simple off with the old, on with the new swap?

Just a tire change. No alignment or anything. I had the tires rebalanced thinking it would help but it didn't

I think you need the balance checked again. Look for a shop that can do a roadforce analysis. Google roadforce tire balance or Hunter GSP9700 to see what that is.

If your steering seems a little loose at highway speed, or you are taking too long to recover from a turn or bump, possibly your steering stabilizer needs to be replaced. The OEM units are POS, get at least a Monroe or Gabriel gas unit.

make sure they didn't put way to much air in the tires. that would cause it to ride like a log wagon

i know warped rotors will do it while on the brakes but I have heard of them doing it all the time too, does the steering wheel shake or the whole truck?

Have your tires checked for high spots. Sometime the heavier tires are not as "true" as standard tires.

If you have a 2500HD it may need a mod to the rear end or drive shaft. On my old 05 2500 HD I had a viberation from the day I picked it up. Someone at the local Chevy Dealer to find some kind of a recall for some 2500HDs' I don't rembemer what they did, but the viberation stopped. This was after the draler had balanced the tires twice.

Well I went down and had my tires road force balanced and they were way off and there was no options to get them within tolerance. I bought a new set of BFG all terrains and my truck is now smooth as silk and no more wandering down the road. I should of never tried to buy something different than BFG's. Lesson Learned
