I usually hit around 60 when I start feeling the vibrations the whole front of the car shakes, including the steering wheel is highly noticeable. It gets calmer after a period of time. I took it back to the dealer and they rebalanced it. I bought the truck from the dealership with 24" wheels on it. They said they were offered by Chevy as an after market wheel. Should I take it to another place to balance it?

GM doesn't offer a 24" wheel, they offer 20 and 22" aftermarket wheels as far as I know. I say take it back until they fix it. Is this under warranty?

+1 on the road force, a static isn't gonna cut it on these trucks with the rack & pinion along with that small a tire.

Thanks guys, I was gonna take it to another shop that specialize in balancing. The dealership told me that they rebalanced them and everything came out the same.
