I told you the 5.3 pistons wouldn't work in a 6L.

it looks like the center cap is just loose on the video. thats what is giving it the illusion of a bent wheel

this is kinda crazy but is it possible that a weight for balancing the wheel n tire would fly off for some reason? i had a front wheel out of balance and i swear the shaking would knock my teeth out. if you added that with soft suspension and shitty roads could that cause you to be bucked around?

also, i didn't notice that you specified a particular 'break-in' time...


this could definitely be an issue if you didn't.

Tires? Broken belts will bounce one around. Quick swap front to rear should eliminate them.

There's something to this comment. Try the KISS method for now and change the tube back to 4.10's and see if it goes away. My bet is it's still there.

Break in time? My break in time consists of going high into the triple digits within the first 100 miles! Didn't know there was one for gears actually.

A friend of mine mentioned the tire weights could of fallen off as well so i'm gonna get them balanced

You bring your shop over here and I'll think about it!
Not a bad idea...I might next time I'm out that way. And trade my truck in for something sneaky that's sneaking around your neighborhood!
