Yeah man! Drives ALMOST perfect. Need to get an alignment and balance the rims... I had it on the highway the other day, doing about 65 it felt like it was going to shake apart. I looked at the wheels, and NONE of the rims have out side weights, not even stick on weights on the inside. So they were improperly "static" balanced. So Ill through them on the balancer some time this week at work and hopefully itll ride like a caddy again

NONE of the wheels were balanced. NOT EVEN STATIC BALANCED. The reason why the truck felt like it was going to shake apart at 50+mph was because one wheel was 4.75 ounces off on the inside and 3.50 ounces off on the outside.

The LACK of effort and the intentional "jewing" on repairs to this truck is just rediculous. Oh well thats why Ive got it back... So that I can fix her up and bring her back to perfect again!
