Never noticed this happening before.

We had our first snow two days, about 5 - 6 inches of heavy wet stuff. Of course I had to take my truck out in it to check out how it did in the snow. Yesterday I needed to take a trip to town and when I got up to 50 mph briefly the truck started to shake some, I wrote it off to cold tires and the road surface. Today I had an errand to run that took me at highway speeds for a bit and once again about 50 the truck started to shake. Not as bad as the day before but noticeable. I pulled off the road to check out what might be the problem because the truck never handled like this before. I started checking the wheels and when I got to the back drivers side I noticed some hunks of snow/ice inside the rim. Knocked it off and headed down the road smooth as could be! I will have to remember to check the wheels when I drive in those kind of conditions again.

 

common thing with deep snow and mud

 

yup, stuff inside of the rim will definitely make for unbalanced tires.

Another one people have had happen is snow melting down n dripping onto the driveshaft between the cab and bed then refreezing on the driveshaft causing a lump of ice to unbalance the driveshaft.

 

3rd Gens have a heated driveshaft for this reason.





..... I think

 

so it feels more human when you get shafted?

 

Make sure it's the truck shaking and not just the steering wheel. If it's the steering wheel - check for debris caked in the wheels.

 

Only if you have proper lubrication...

 

Naw. 3rd gens have the heated tailgate.

 

Damn, nd4spdbh. That one was teed up pretty well for you, but I'll still give you credit for hitting it long and straight.

 

Thought an old s10 was going to vibrate apart from mud in the wheels
