    Oh hey, yes I did replace steer tires and nothing changed. I don't know exactly when this started because I used to have team drivers on this truck before, and they started complaining at some point and initially I didn't give it much attention until after numerous trips to the shop without any results. The truck was parked for couple years and recently I started driving it and understanding what drivers were complaining about. Front end has been inspected, everything adjusted.

    I'm wondering if the centramatics maybe bad, I have no idea how many miles on them since I bought the truck used and they were on.

    Did you fix your shaking, what was with yours?

    You have to check if they put weighs on the tires to balance. Weighs and centramatics are not recommended together. Centramatics barely goes bad. Take the weights off if you have one and leave the centramatics do the job and see what happens

    No, there no weights.

    What was with your truck, did you fix yours?

    If it's not centramatics then I am really worried of what it might be...

    I asked you earlier. Where do you feel the shaking ? Hood ? Seat ?. Check drive line as well possible out of balance shaft, u joints bad. It can be anything sometimes it’s hard to find
