    Have any of you ever used that electric fly swatter that looks like a tennis racket? I had no idea that electrocuting flies could be so much fun.

    You know Six, I roofed at a young age, was in great shape and as a favor I tended block for a crew for one day. 1 tender for 3 Mason's. Only took me that one day to learn that I was not gonna do that for the rest of my life. But work is work when you need the money.

    Shakes 45 to 65, in or out of gear clutch in or out still there, coasting or going, no steering changes and it's not in the steering wheel.

    Had an alignment done a couple weeks back after putting new tie rods in. Theres no slack in the steering go speak of plus you dont feel it in the wheel just the whole truck.

    Motor mounts and all that seem fine, does it bobtail or with trailer on, loaded isnt as bad as empty but still there.

    Cheap tires and rims not centered on hubs 95% of the time.

    New toyos on the front, synergy drives on the rear. They all balanced out with less than 5oz. You reckon itd be one or two egg shaped.

    With that I'd look at the back yoke. Input shaft bearings.

    Your a big boy...jack it up and see what you can bench....I use a block and a 5ft bar cause I'm old and wore out. Did you check the in and out on the yokes when you had the shafts out? Loose locknut will make her flop around.

    Cheap tires and rims not mounted to hubs properly. Get tru balance pins or spacers and reinstall them. Those synergy tires are gonna shake no matter what. But this will improve it. Talk to Ron, he is a heck of a guy.
