new 08 LB CC 2wd, 1100 miles

I have a vibration on my new truck which appears when driving ( smooth at rest) and is most noticable at hiway speeds  with various interior parts shaking, especially the empty front passenger seat and the front end seems darty and deflects with road irregularities, possibly these traits are linked? I like the truck but am dissapointed in the overall ride quality due to this vibration/imbalance somewhere?

I have checked my air pressure, all is good and checked the weights on the wheels, both inboard and outboard.

I have heard about this with the new rides, have someone heavy (fat) sit in the front passenger seat for a small trip, it should rattle everything into place then..
(only heard about it, no proof as to if it works)

Are you calling my wife FAT!!! Must be,because after she rode in the pass seat a few times, I didn't notice the rattle noise any more! Slight vibration at times, but no noise.

I had the dealer check the balance on my tires and they found the front right to be defective! They replaced the tire and all is well!
