Yes...it really helped on the aftershock vibrations and a constant bed wobble between 55-62. I don't have the steering vibration issue, but I'm pretty sure I might have a slight driveline vibration as well. Now that I can feel the rest of the truck, it's a possibility, but I want to drive for a while to make sure I'm not just paranoid.
It's been good to keep positive and look for a solution instead of only seeing "red" if you know what I mean.
Thanks!

p255/70/17 General tire on factory polished aluminum
I have a steering wheel vibration at speeds of 40-45 mph then smoths out at highway speeds. I have made 4 trips to the dealer first trip said that there was no prob. Took truck to another dealer they said have a concern pulling 6-8g's on the mvh meter sent tires out to be road forced balanced did not solve prob. Went back 2nd time they installed two new general tires test drove siad was fixed..wrong..went back 3rd time they tried road force balancing new ties same result. 4th trip they found an article # 04-3-3.this is for vibration at highway speeds. That states that you need to drive the vehicle aprox 30 mile to get rid of any flat spots in the tire from sitting over night before actually testing the vehicle
Anyone else heard of this?
