Can not say about gov planet but many of us have been burned...

    If you are getting a vibration/squealing while moving, other items to look at is driveshaft u joints, hanger bearing, temps at each wheel hub/box including fluid level, differentials etc. Can you isolate the speed when heard? Do you feel vibration?

    Squeaks driving me crazy..............help

    Squeaks can be from ball joints when metal to metal contact especially for the ones that are sealed and no zerk fittings.

    M1061: Anyone added ramps on theirs

    the xm1073 have 17.5 rims with the same bolt pattern. One Piece like the m1061. The OE tires are non existent and impossible to find 11R17.5 goodyear no longer made. My experience with 17.5 is that very few tire shops like them except heavy duty/commercial service.

    M101A3 Cargo Cover Question

    I have several m101 covers and some are longer. It depends on who made it. I think it is just a manufacturer variance in the design.

    Speedometer Flutter

    There is an adapter that screws into the end of the speeodmeter cable after it is disconnected and it has a zerk fitting. A few pumps of a grease gun and it will bring back a jerky cable if it is not cut or frayed. I think dorman or Help made it which I think are now the same company.

    Is it safer to wear seatbelts, or not?

    I wear mine all the time. Period, no discussion on my part. Having been T boned in a civilian vehicle that flipped on its side; I , my wife and my son in a car seat were fine. Friend in back not belted in suffered injuries. Not worth it not to do it.
