Sway Problem

[Badger2078]

I'm sure some of yall have run into this before, but this is by far the most powerful truck I've ever owned so here goes.

For probably the past year, every time I'm playing around and put too much power to the back wheels, the truck starts to fight in the rear end as if one wheel is trying to outrun the other.

This results in an extreme sway back and forth.

I had some heavy towing to do last week (broken down Duramax (not mine)) picture included, and while climbing hwy 25 and the Saluda Grade, the truck would start to sway so bad you would think I was gonna lose the gooseneck.

The only way to stop the swaying is to let off the throttle.

Everything looks intact underneath.

Any suggestions?

This is the Alison failure btw.

And no, the bolts didn't come loose.

Sorry I don't know what your sway problem could be.

Sound like a towing set up issue possibly, but maybe a broken spring or something wrong in the suspension of your truck.

What was the total weight you were pulling with your truck?

I’ve pulled 15,000 up that saluda grade a few times with a bumper pull behind 7 ton rated trailer and tractor without any issues but even empty that’s a heck of a grade to pull. LOL

Was your load properly distributed?

Might be something with your rear track bar if you have a 2500.

Total weight was about 24000. Thing is it will do it with no load at all. Oem wheels suspension and all. Just when not towing it id harder to put that much power to the ground

Remember the truck will do the same with no load or trailer

That is what it feels like but everything appears normal. Like I need a beefier track bar
