I understand, and yea they look new, but the ones that came with the truck were even worse, and I didn’t have the money to drop on 4 brand new tires. So how do I check to see if it has bad belt? And I’ll get them rebalanced at a diferent shop.
How do you check for the ball joints? The truck has to be lifted?
I took it in to the shop. You can see the upper and lower when you turn the wheel but just take it in. A lot of shops won’t charge to take a quick look for you. If it is the ball joint they will need to do an alignment after they are replaced anyway.
I had a brand new 2011 1500 with the then 'new' MDS engine. I noticed a slight vibration through the pedal and seat beyween 40-45 mph. Took it in to the dealer 3x and they " couldn't duplicate it". On the 4th trip I took the mechanic for a test drive where he finally felt what I felt! After researching it and talking to engineers, they said they were aware of the issue, it is caused by the MDS system but there was no fix for it at the time. Their recommendation was to drive it in constant Tow/Haul mode. So in essence, they force you to pay extra for the MDS engine system that you basically had to shut off by usng T/H mode. Not sure if your 2017 has that button on the dash, but if it does, its worth a try to see if it goes away.
