Thanks Dustin! If I get more serious about it I may take you up on that.

no problem. I'd say give him a list of things to look for specifically. Might be able to get one of my other (more mechanically inclined) uncles that live in Des Moines to go look at it too.

Sounds good! I will let you know. One thing I have to get past is I do not like the tan color of that two tone so that would have to get painted either white to match the rest of the truck or another color. I can paint it myself but there is still expense involved.

I'd like to swap some tires around from my truck to yours to see if it goes away.

Even driving to work today I can feel it. Is it possible a tread separated?

How about swapping the front tires to the back and back to front and try that.

Possible, but I don't think so. Maybe a broken cord??? It feels to me like squishy side walls when driving it.

Would that be visible just looking at the tire do you think?

I do plan to move the tires Troy and see if I can tell a difference. Just didn't work into the schedule this weekend.

You might be able to see it if you pick it up off the ground. Not easy to see loaded always.

I'd start by swapping tires around, but based on the clunk and it started after then, then gone and back with another feel hard to see. Unless something hit a tire when it went flying?

Troy, why not just find some fenders and the parts to convert yours? Less work than swapping everything over, and with all the work done to yours it might make more sense.

This is almost the perfect truck for you Troy. Only flaw is the tan two tone
