I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT, but after 4 months of multiple efforts by 2 dealers and 3 tire shops to get rid of my vibration----it's about 99% GONE! I tried a local Buick dealer that had the GSP 9700 and when I got it back the road force variances were 40lbs, 40lbs, 78lbs, and 100lbs. When I drove the truck away it was much worse than when it went in.

A Goodyear rep called me (nice guy) and suggested to take it to another place that had the GSP9700 and have the tires rebalanced at their expense. Well now the road force variances are 1lb, 7lb, 7lb, and 14lb.

The thing about this truck is the more weight that is in it the better it rides.
Cyclone:

May I be so bold as to ask how much you paid the Buick dealer to screw up your tires? The going rate around here is $7.50 a tire
for road force balancing.

Do you have a computer printout indicating both results? If so, why not take both to the owner of that dealership and demand a refund? I sure as heck would.

I agree -- I have a hitch plus I haul a couple 60 pound tubes of sand in the back of the bed all the time. This greatly improves the ride and rear end traction.
