I second Russ' recommendation. I just visited Jim Bounds for the tire
truing/balance, and 6-wheel alignment. As it turned out, we did the tires
one day, and the alignment the next, so I had the opportunity to drive the
coach after just the tire truing and balance. What an amazing difference!
It was immediately noticeable at speeds of only 50 mph. And I thought my
Alcoa/Firestone wheel combination was pretty smooth before we started.
Jim has dedicated people on his team, and they take the time to do the job
right. This is a realatively inexpensive way to significantly improve the
GMC ride. You can't go wrong with this one. In fact, I can't remember
getting this much improvement from spending $150. (except maybe replacing a
flat tire with a new one)
