Thank you all for the advice. We will replace the tires this week and see if that helps.
When we took the truck to the shop last week, they said they checked the front end and only found that it needed 1 tie rod. They said the ball joints were fine and apparently everything else checked out because they only replaced the tie rod. I asked him to check the steering gear box, as I've read that is a common problem. He said that was fine, too. I feel like we need to take a closer look at that component, but only based on how the truck drives and what I've read. Maybe replace with a RedHead gear box (or something like that). There's definitely a problem but if everything checked out, as he said, how do you know where to go from there??
Ron3rd - Yes, the WDH was set up by the dealer for the Expy. We took the new truck and trailer to a non-Equalizer dealer to have them readjust. I don't think they adjusted properly. My husband is good at this stuff, so we'll probably just try downloading the manual and setting it up ourselves.
So, so far we've spent $125 at the dealer and $230 with the mechanic and are no better than we were to start. It's a shame we can't get our money back. I understand they have actually done work, but it was for not.
Husband took the truck today and will be going to the tire shop. If they have them in stock, may be riding on new tires by the end of the day. I will keep everyone posted.
Again, thanks so much for your input.
