Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

I'm scared to say it because I don't want to jinx myself--BUT--It's running pretty damn good.
That's weird with your frontend shaking so bad like that. 10 lbs low wouldn't do that. Was the tread on the tire all cupped on the edge?

I’d bet that he had some snow packed in his rims.

I’m guessing my pizza won’t be delivered in time for dinner since you HAVENT EVEN LEFT YET. On another note, I went on the freeway day before yesterday after driving around in the snow and it started vibrating and the steering wheel was shaking so bad at 45 that I put on my flashers and took the next exit, and went back home. I found one tire was 10 lbs low but was afraid that wasn’t the issue so I finally took it back on the freeway today and it’s fine. Might have been ice built up on something causing the shaking but it’s good now. So your truck is running good Tony?

I've had that happen before when slush froze on my rims. Stopped and kicked it off as best I could, but it came back down the road. Perfect conditions for it to happen.

I don't think I've ever had that happen to me before, and I've driven in some crazy snow.

I’ve had it happen more than a few times in my life.

I had a 2000 Grand Prix that had so much snow packed into the front wheelwells that I couldn't even turn the wheels. Was making the 30 mile drive home from work after 2nd shift in a wicked snowstorm - must have been over 1' of snow on the ground, the plows weren't out yet and there was only 1 set of tire tracks across the entire road. Luckily I didn't meet anyone coming the other way, but when I tried to turn right I found out just how lucky I was. I bet I spent a good 20 minutes with my ice scraper chipping away at that shit!

Dealt with the snow in the wheel on the Denali this morning. Shaking like a mofo

Your wheels have a perfect channel to hold water and then freeze.

Friggin' Snowing!
