Anyone else experience this? My families Lightning is getting a proper western KS farm welcome. Which is to say, its being driven on dirt/gravel/rock roads that serve up a mixture of mud/ice/snow/dust at varying intervals.....
My brother reports that he's having to hit the insides of the rims with a pressure washer ever few days, or the imbalance gets so bad, he hates driving over 40 mph.
This is by the way, not an uncommon thing out there. Some rim designs are just worse than others. Their Chrysler Minivan is a real bugger about doing it. But my brothers ICE Silverado which also has alloy rims, has never had a problem.
Are the 19" rims better? Does the pro have steel rims? We would ditch the Lariat rims (IE trade) if the problem could be fixed with a different rim style.
