Pickup truck oscillating diagonally

We have a stretch of I90 in E. Wa. that causes the same thing. It's actually the pavement that slowly undulates from side to side.

Where is that section?

I've driven I-90 east and west multiple times each year and have never encountered that issue

Having a mix of radials and bias ply tires will cause a bad rolling oscillation. Been there done that in my younger years.

Seems like it's the "future wives" that supported the bad/ugly car syndromes. Mine was the same. She had a fricking Nissan 200x or sx. One of the bigger POS cars I've had the pleasure of keeping running. I think that's the only reason her dad put up w me when we started dating was because I took keeping that pos running off of his hands.

Maybe wouldn't have been so pleased with that if he know how I was getting "paid" to work on it though. Lol

Ok, now that we’re all in therapy here, talking about past fiascos that passed as cars (and even tho I was busting Scott’s chops) my first car was a Gremlin as well. Paid $75 for it, sold it for $500 6 months later and redeemed myself by buying a 71 Challenger. There, I said it....I had a Gremlin. I feel so much better now that I got that off my chest!

Sold it for more then you paid. Proceeds put towards Challenger, Id say your secure.
Heres the kicker my FIL traded in a Chevelle for the Gremlin, ugh.

40+ years ago, ours had bad bias ply OEM tires. Once we replaced them with radials, it rode much better. I learned to drive clutch on our Pinto and never felt my identity was tied to what I drive.

It takes a brave person to admit that.;)
How many years of therapy did it take?

Denial helps - It was my future wife's car when we met! :B
