After the balancing, the truck doesn't shake as bad but now the steering wheel shakes at roughly the same speed of 110. Going to about 140 and the shaking gets really bad. Not such a big deal as I never drive that fast, ever. The shaking is mostly gone except for on the steering wheel. I remove my hands from the wheel and the truck still tracks straight.
What gives? I am going to get an alignment later this month after doing my tie roads and lower ball joints so hopefully this fixes it.
All the tire tech told me was that my "wheels were really out of balance"...

Any bends or dips in the rims? Weights can only do so much. Does your wheels have a lip for the weights to be fastened or is it sticky weights? If they are sticky, they may have fallen off. Have them double check the balance. Are these factory wheels on stock suspension?
