Well normally I agree. However these are just some old rims and and I am sure overtightening isn't causing the vibration. I will torque the TT rims when I put them on and cross my fingers!Quote:

if it only happens ~60mph or higher, it's not loose lugs. you'd notice that at 5mph.
its got be out of balance , how old are the tires? i have had a lot of tires when they get mileage start to vibrate at speed, warped rotors is a old wives tale
"warped rotors" is bullcrap. they might be heat-treated due to excessive braking; but that would only produce vibration during stops--not at speed.
Rotors can be warped by overtightening the wheels. That is fact. The warped rotor by excessive braking is the wives tale.
And my comment about overtightening is a seperate comment from his vibration issue. I just noted its bad.
I don't know how old the tires are. The tread is awesome on all four. However, as I mentioned earlier I have a hound from every town! They are all the same size and I checked to see if any weights had popped off and all is good. I hate the R/T wheels! My wife wants me to hold off on putting new tires on my R/T TT wheels until spring. So, I guess I will just have them balanced to make sure.
It only vibrates at 60+mph...so my guess is the wheels/tires out of balance or a broken belt.
Make sure to change the caps in the working TCU if they are original or it won't be a working TCU for long.
Unlike the ECUs, when the 47uf cap by the voltage regulator pass transistor leaks there is a very good chance the regulator will fail and dump 12v on the 5v buss to all the chips blowing them.
^is the the genius whose advice i've been warned about?
No, the Steve you've been warned about is Steve68.
