Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"

I had a similar wheel weight problem on both of my passenger cars, ended up being that the shop doing the work was retarded and from what I gathered didnt know how to set up their tire balance machine. If you use weights on the inner lip in conjunction with sticky weights on the inside of the wheel there is a setting for that, and a setting for weights on the outside and inside lips of the wheel, and some other variations. Well they had it on the wrong setting for where they had the weights on my wheels and the tires would show balanced according to where the machine thought the weights were on the wheel, and in reality they were off. After many headaches I went to another shop and discovered that all of my wheels were off at least 4 oz. Needless to say I wont ever do business with the first shop ever again, they screwed up two completely different cars in the same way.

Anyway, back on topic. Great looking truck and did you have a chance to take some pics of your brakes with the wheels on?
