Front end alignment, tires need balancing, or you got WARPED ROTORS.

One of them three. I seriously doubt that your rotors are warped with that new truck but i guess its possible.

take your wheels off and take the round metal clips on the studs off that hold the rotor/drums on the hub and axles

use a screwdriver and/or a pair of pliers. Once that is done, go get an alignment.

this will allow the wheel to seat on the hub, and your lug nuts won't get loose.
