    those checked out ok... blew this paychecks discretionary funds on a new steer tire... made a stupid mistake and ripped a chunk of rubber out of one. Bonus side, they gave me a discount on a pair of centramatics for the steer axle, so i will find out if that helps on todays drive.

    Just updating.... the centramatics on the steer axle wiped out the vibrations. She is running smooth as silk now!

    Yes the spacer blocks are like wedges on the 4 spring hangers. Those will cause the issue also. I still need to replace the cab bushings and I hope that takes the rest of the shake out of the truck.

    My bet was the tires. I had a 06 670 with some cheap steers they were so cheap and horrible that doesn't matter how you balanced them the tires we're not balance able. But when buying tires last thing you want to go cheap on is the steers. Blowing a steer at 70 plus is not fun at all

    I found the problem after I waist all my money. I had one section of the drive line replaced and balanced but actually when you are replacing one section you have to take both section of the drive line to be balanced together at the same time. Truck runs like new.
