First, please accept my apologizes if I do this, my first post, poorly.
2005 Z71 crew cab 3.5 2WD Auto.
Had this truck about 6 weeks. First thing I did was remove M\S tires and replace with A\S highway tread, P65/75 R15. 4 Cooper Discoverer. Tires mounted, balanced and put on truck.
Drove, noted wheel hop at 42-55 mph. Returned to tire shop, all tires re-balanced. Drove again, still have same issues. Shop co-owner drives truck, states left rear wheel is the problem. Return to shop, left rear tire is replaced. I drive, now front end shakes. Return to shop, left front tire is replaced, front no longer shaking but still noticeable hop on back end. I tell the shop owner I want all the tires removed and replaced with a different brand he amiably agrees. 4 new Goodrich Long Trail P65/75 R15. Still have slight vibration/hop on back end. Shocks are good and no apparent problems with wheels themselves. Truck has 125 K on it. All these events occurred over a period of 7-10 days.
I suspect U joint or drive shaft out of balance. Any ideas or advice? Thanks
