yeah, i was pretty flustered after 3 balancing jobs and it felt like the steering wheel could make a great milkshaker, lol. After i went to RNR who specializes in aftermarket tires/wheels, it rides great. But i kept my receipts then went back to the others and got my money back.

No RNR in WI. I will have to look into getting them re-balanced though.

Solved my wheel vibration problem today. This thing rides like a car! And, the 6.2 vs the 5.4 - absolutely night and day! Even the sound influenced me.

Well, I traded-in my Eclipse that just sat in the driveway too. That helped justify - helped that is. Actually, after test-driving it, I was sold. I don't know if was the difference b/w the no-frills reg cab that I traded in vs the Lariat in general, or the new motor combined with all the lariat interior. FYI, I didn't even have an armrest on the Reg cab. Perhaps the double mpg that I am reading in the new truck will justify everything????
