Rhythmic motion only when towing
Have them check the runout on the trailer, not the balancer. These small trailers that use stamped steel wheels have issues. The center holes are often off center. most balancers use that hole to balance the tire. Its very hard to find a shop that has the equipment to do these junk wheels.- 800steve

Dreaded cold start lifter tick
Tom, you need to watch those videos again, yes like everyone has said, hotter is thinner, but viscosity does not increase, just does not change as much as a straight weight oil.- 800steve

Dreaded cold start lifter tick
This how multi grade oil was explained to me by a Mobil chemist. 5w-20 means when cold the viscosity is no "thicker" than a 5 weight oil, and when its hot it is no thinner than a 30 weight when hot. But when cold a 5w oil is thicker than a hot 30 weight and when its hot a 30 weight is thinner...- 800steve

Am I the only one with warped rear rotors at 14K miles?
Sir I am sorry but you are wrong! I have owned a Brake shop for 35 years and have seen many " warped" rotors. Extreme heat will change things. And I mean EXTREME heat. Most pulsations come from other issues. like improper tightening, rust on rotor faces, or rust on hub faces, BUT Extreme... -
