Tomas has yet another problem I can't pinpoint
Ok, now that his tires are rotated and they are now properly torqued down and I have put 600 miles on them since the rotation I am still getting this rub/vibration/not sure really how to describe it, in the front tires. It is driving me crazy because I can't figure it out.

Yeah... um... okay.... from the given description of the problem, it could be anything that moves on the vehicle.
If you'd like for us to throw ideas your way on our opinions on what it might be.... you might want to be a tad more precise with the description.
At this point, I believe that you just ran over a bean bag chair and it's caught on your rear diff and you're hearing it as it drags down the road. Also, have you noticed little styrofoam pelletts everywhere that you've been? If so, you've probably ripped the bean bag chair open. This is a difficult problem to fix and I don't believe that the dealership will be willing to cover the chair under warranty. Good luck though.

LOL very funny Rock......no no bean bag chair in the rear diff.
I only feel it in the front tires....at first I thought maybe it was just the tread, but after 600 miles it should be worn down right? I know this....I didn't feel this before the tire rotation....it is a constant vibration that is extremely suttle....to the point the Joe hasn't noticed it and he has driven my truck several times since the rotation. You can't hear anything you can only feel it....and as a passanger you don't notice it.....does this help? I am sorry guys I am not a mechanic nor an engineer so I don't know all the fancy technical terms.
oh and no I am not imagining this.....it is real and it is driving me crazy.....and please don't reply with "that is a short trip"

skagel,
i also suggest that when you take the truck in...go and drive a new one on the lot to see if it does it. you might just be supersensitive to something that was always there but your senses weren't heightened until you decided to pay extra attention after the tire rotation. the fact that the boyfriend doesn't notice it leads me to believe this might be the case...

vibration
I hate to say it Skagel but,... I think I know what you are hearing. The tires on our trucks seem to get a little noisy after they've broken in. Mine has had some slight shoulder wear on the left front tire. After this slight wear pattern started I noticed a little whine from my front end that I hadn't noticed before. Mine is only a 4x2 so I'm sure the 4X4 will have a little more noise. I drove a buddy of mines 99 S/C 4x4 last weekend with 55K miles and his tire whine was similar in sound to mine but louder. He is ready for a 2nd set of tires.
Keep in mind you do have a truck, a nice one but, it will be a little noisier than say a Lincoln.
If you trust your dealers opinion and he doesnt find any mechanical problems I'd drive it. Just my 2 cents!
