It’s been real

it was very much in laymen's terms, just puts a picture in your mind that you can not unsee… So if someone see's a dog struggling to go #2, it will remind them to buy a Denali

 

 

Only the ones that shake....apparently they also make a model that doesn’t. I however am 0-2.

So far, with the 3 K2's I have had, that is one of the few problems I have never experienced. My 18 has been great with zero problems so far, not the same story with the 14 and 16 I had before.

 

What were the dealer conclusions on the "shake"?

[Chad2815]

My 14 they threw everything under the kitchen sink at, new tires, wheels, LCA, rear diff and axles. Finally after 6 months of being on their rack and numerous phone calls with BBB they offered me less than I could get in trade, threatened them with a lawyer and they bought it back. Used that for the 17, it developed similar “peach seed tremble” at about 30 thousand. Took it to the dealer, they tried but after the last one I wouldnt let them go much further than telling me it had a shake. Transmission has been flushed 3 times for that shake which is different, gonna try Amsoil next instead of the new magic Mobil 1. I did recently switch to Michelin’s that have helped alot. I have the 22’s and it seems they are always out of balance, Im starting to wonder if I should get new wheels. Im going to check the balance on these at my next oild change and see if they hold.

Look at that, you already have a name for your first marketing campaign.

 

I am not sure what the "road forced" balance does over a normal one, but maybe have them try that. They should be able to see if you have a rim that is "out of round".

It's the idea that a sidewall is not equally stiff setting up an oscillation that has a force equal to an out of mass balance state. 

What it is in reality is a way to put tires on the road that are defective. When I get a tire, and it is rare, that will not run smoothly with a simple spin balance I trash that tire.
