RB That's what we experienced when we were bringing three 20' lengths of 12" galvanized pipe from Denver to Calhan, Colorado. We found out when we got on I-25 and started to accelerate. When we decelerated, the wag went away. We then quickly got off the Interstate and on to surface streets, going less than 45 all the way home.
