There is a technical service bulletin out on it. Try to search for it, I am sure you can find something. Or someone will be along shortly with a link. Good luck.

I'll bet that if you went to your dealership with the TSB #, in the spirit of customer service, they could look up that number and get the info needed to service your truck.

well they called me and said the TSB doesnt count for my truck and that they are going to road balance my tires and see if that solves it. I HOPE SO!!!

You know I had the same problem with my stock tires but now that I put the bfgs on, i dont notice it anymore.

I now have a warped rotor which is causing the vibrating when stoping which i need to take in to get turned asap!

Here ya go www.patriotdecals.com also if u order them use the "wet application" easier to not screw up and also faster. Good luck! my next edition is camo wraps on the bottom of the truck also there located in texas so u get them pretty quick ( i noticed ur in dallas, and the great lone star state!)
