Tires came in. They are great. 2022 date codes on all tires.

Yeah, I called and paid a $50 premium to get the newest date codes. The normally sell for $550. The tires got to Orlando fast, could have had them Friday, but opted for a Monday delivery. I’ll verify the codes and quality then report back.

I got them from https://csmarmytires.com/. I paid $600 a tire for newer data codes. S/H was only $500. CSM was a pleasure to work with.

Thanks for your replay, I have ordered some 2022/2023 MV/T's. Your right, it's not worth the risk.

based on the additional info in this thread, I inflated the tires from 50psi to 85psi and the vibration reduced significantly, but there is still some. I’m going to try some balance beads and look into newer tires.

I don’t know. I’ll check.

Thank you, it’s definitely in the drive hrz range. The flex is in the slip joint. I’m going to pull it and have it professionally refurbished.

Seeking advise on where to look for an issue. I drove and parked my truck, stock M1083, on a Saturday without issue, the following day the truck had a shimmy/vibration at 25mph which goes away, and then again at 35mph which also goes away the closer you get to 40mph. 1. engine rev's in neutral...

Yep, two springs.

Agreed, I swapped out the springs first, thinking that was the issue only to learn new springs made no difference. I then started to read, pedal was good for me, the cable was my culprit. Now that the return was working. I checked the throttle position sensor resistance and found it was good...

I used this Motion Pro cable luber on the engine side of the throttle cable to help push/guide lubricant into the cable. While it makes a mess, it worked. Lots of lubricant went into the cable, some went all over the engine. Bottom line, my throttle cable doesn’t stick anymore. I couldn’t...

Thank you all. I've ordered the motion pro tool and will report back how it works.

My throttle sticks at about 1/3 "remaining" when I let off the pedal. I have replaced the two throttle return springs...but that wasn't enough. I'm now going through para. 4-18 "Throttle Control Cable Replacement/Adjustment" procedure. Curious, before I try, if anyone has sent lubricant down...

Thank you. I have fixed the issue. My problem was the park brake valve would “pop” on every time I hit the breaks medium or heavy. Turns out the treadle valve exhaust hose was clogged. I’ve temporarily run another one for now.
