no no..for driveshaft balancing...I might be tempted to try them over dumping a foreign substance into the tire (and CTIS system). I've heard horror stories of antifreeze gumming up the works or airsoft pellet's melting due to oils getting into the air system, etc. I can only imagine the fun involved in tearing apart the entire air system to resolve an issue with a bunch of goo that got past a failed check valve or something. But I'm fortunate to not have any vibration issues on this truck (unlike my A0) so balance isn't on my current radar.
Most all of these balancing solutions have; *not intended for highway use written somewhere (I've always wondered what a DOT/DPS trooper might say about them being in place).
fortunately I have none of those issues...but as a precautionary measure and for $200.. it just may be worth a lookie loo..When your driveshaft is built it is balanced. New slip yoke its balanced, new weld on yoke its balanced.
If your driveshaft is slinging off weights that are welded on causing you to have to balance it at home you have serious issues and need to park the truck.
.no no..for driveshaft balancing...
"not intended for highway use " sounds like a myth... think of it logically..... balance beads, be they rings or in the tire type or useless offroad for the vehicle is not traveling fast enough to even begin to work. (unless your in the Baja or something lol).... Most all of these balancing solutions have; *not intended for highway use written somewhere ....
I'd disagree..... on the "not needed" part. snake oil? well that is still to be seen.snake oil and def not needed.
I disagree. We know that the LMTV shafts slowly gain slop and become unbalanced (not because the mass of any part of the shaft has changed, but because it has physically changed shape and/or bent). So a dynamic balancing tool that is able to compensate for those changes, and keep you from breaking your truck [for a while], may be money well spent.snake oil and def not needed.
