And oh, on one of the intersections I go through, the pedestrian crosswalk is made out of red bricks. Real rough but my truck can take it.
I have seen two 2x4 Tundras driving down the road with one rear wheel so out of balance it looked like the wheel was about to come off or maybe it was a bent rim. Both times it was the drivers side rear.
Chevy 4x2s have had vibration problems, due in part, I think, to the new rack-and-pinion steering. The Chevy 4x4s don't use this setup. Both the Tundra 4x2 and 4x4 use rack-and-pinion steering.

And there was the tire theory..
may have been all 3?...I didn't follow it too much as I did not have the problem with a 2500.

1- Vibrations - linked to tire, rack and pinion, steel rims. Bottom line...only fix appears to be buyback from GM....
2- Launch shudder- 2 piece driveshaft...adjust pinion angle. Sometimes works sometimes not.
3- Driveline growl- Torque converter lockup...no fix available. TSB works for some and definitely not for all
I guess that about sums up the major problems with the 2wd 1500. Tim's right on this one...$3K more...buy a 2500. I should have...maybe still will...
