Your new hub MIGHT already have a race installed in it. And yes, all cone shaped bearings use races. And PLEASE don't tell us you trial installed your bearing without greasing it first! If you tried it dry, it would be very hard to turn. ( It also just might scratch it up and make it useless!)

Yep, that is your race. I don't have a schematic at hand, but there should be an old race you hafta drive out and replace with this.

I'm looking forward to your build. I too have fond memories of a 4X4 'burb. It was a 1/2 ton with 1 ton gear under it with a 6" lift. Had a 700R4 in it and was a blast! It was a legend around these parts. If the cancer hadn't gotten so bad......:sad...

I wonder if your tranny has a worn parking pawl? If the hole is wallowed out, won't that make the pawl (plunger) slip loose?

I'm betting that little ring is the bearing race. Wanna bet?:mrgreen:

WOW! Sounds like you were getting really low on fuel. And north of Kingman, there are few stations before Las Vegas,as I remember. We are headed back out there in Sept. to drive over the new bridge over the Hoover Dam. I am always amazed at people flying past the Elk out there and apparently...

It might be like my tractor. It has used NAP* fuel filters forever. But now the new ones from NAP* don't fit. They are being made probably in China and have an extra lip on them theold ones didn't have.:sad: You might have a different size cap on this u joint that makes it not fit. I wouldn't...

I'm jealous!;) And you are now on my "heroes" list!

If you used the same u joints on both side, then it must be the way they are installed. Check to make sure that the cups are fully seated with the snap ring completely in the groove. Sometimes it is hard to get the caps in enough to get the snap rings to seat. If you could measure the width of...

To get back to the original thread, how is your daughter doing with her 09? Enquiring minds wanta know. Did she take it to the prom or anything?:o

In the future, might I suggest that you include which "truck" you are working on in your first post? Not to be picky, but sometimes it helps you get better advice. Hope the filter fixes everything.

This is a cool trip. Even if it is hot! How much fuel did you put in when you got to Kingman? Sometimes those gauges show empty even when there is plenty of fuel left. Oh and: nopics Have a safe trip!

I looked at the pics before reading all your post and was wondering if it was the same truck! Looks like you did a lot of quality work on it. :beer:

How about you just let me steal it?:???: I wouldn't even offer you money!

+1 Me.:beer:

Good luck with it!:D

Yes. The column has to be unlocked to allow the front wheels to turn on the corners. Otherwise you would have to drag the front end around the corners. And I still say that the worrying I did before the actual deed was all unfounded. With a little caution, you should be fine.[thumbzup]

Nice looking couple. Even if they didn't take the deuce!:-D

That is a great mod. It pays to be a good neighbor. [thumbzup]

Good looking truck. Be sure and post the after .30 BMG pics too!:drool:
