Anyone know and care to explain to me why my truck rides better when it's cold and raining??? This puzzles me... But the ride is sooo much better and smoother?

 

How worn are your tires? Inclement weather might be masking unevenly worn treads. I bought a used car with cuppped tires and they were quieter and seemingly smoother when it was raining, but obviously not as safe.

Other than tires, there should be no reason for the difference in suspension, driveline, or steering performance in cold weather.

 

Agree! I had the same sort of problem on a used suv. Uneven tires would deff make sence!

 

Tires are brand new and not worn uneven. Just seems like the suspension is soo much smoother and rides better.

 

Cold temperatures lower the air pressure in tires. Check the air pressure. How cold is cold? What is the temp change?

 

Temp right now is 35. It rides better at this temp then it does at say 65

 

I would say it is more because of the change in viscosity of the shock oil due to the colder climate.

You would notice it more if the shocks are worn.

 

This is what I'm thinking... The cold weather makes the oil thicker or somthin causin for smoother ride? So is it safe to say I need new shocks? Bilstiens maybe? Somebody tell my wife this.... Wahoo Xmas present

 

For a little good karma, I'll tell your wife anything. Does she know semen is an excellent facial moisturizer? Heard it from a guy who knows a guy who went to the doctor once. Have fun now!

 

On topic, I had a '93 Chevy that rode like a limousine a couple days a month, never did figure out the pattern to it, but it was nice.
