Exactly. The problem the studs are now supporting the wheel and they are not allowing for self centering of the rim on the hub pilot. I had wheels fall off trucks before because they were riding the weight on the studs and the wheel cracked around the studs and broke studs. After a while going...

No problem. Just take the 6 Torx 25 screws out and pull the hub covers. I have seen them worn out and just stay out all the time. It may be time for a new set of locking hubs. I replaced mine on several trucks with the Warn 1/4 turn hubs. They are not the premiums but are the same as the OEM...

I like the reflector stripes that are in alignment when the hubs are unlocked free and out of alignment when turn partially or locked. You know what I mean?

Welcome. But the front driveshaft vibration. Does it do it with the hubs in the free position or just the lock position? If it is vibrating in free make sure your hubs are freeing and not hung up and causing a vibration. A 1028 has the limited slip front and that can get strange if one hub is...

You don't need to melt it just heat it a bit and it comes right out. Makes it very easy. The spring does not get hot enough to effect it. It just helps release the seized thru bolts in the bushings that are junk anyway.

Easy to remove springs from any vehicle and use all/most of the parts over again except the rubber bushings. Very easy with my tools pictured. Not so easy without them.

They clip on the bottom ear of the inner brake pad and you compress the spring of the clip and put it in place. That will hold the pad semi tight and keep it from clicking. I have an M1008 that has the groove in the pad holder worn and it still clicks a bit but it has the spring clips in place...

These a small tin pieces., May i suggest NAPA. they are made in USA at NAPA. I bought them at other places and they broke while putting them on. Check it out. It could also be worn that they will not stay in place. Put 1 clip on top and 1 clip bottom of inner brake pad if possible.

You are missing the small spring clips that go on the axle inner side of the brake pads. Less than $5. to get new ones. I bought 10 for $6.50.

You ever have any luck with re-arching leaf springs? I never have. It seems they are good for a while and then just return to the low down. I have been replacing the springs from this point on. And the rear saddles are available in cast steel now so I opt to replace them at the same time. Snow...

That is why I buy new replacement parts locally. I am well known at the Autozone and the other parts houses. When I have an issue I walk in and face to face we get the issue resolved. I may pay a bit more for this and I know that. But I am paying for the service and the respect that I receive...

It looks like Mr Rusty all over again. I see you need to make some backing plate tins. i found a set of them in my scrap pile. But I just made a set for another truck last year. i used what you have left there cleaned them up and cut and welded a piece of 14 gauge galvaneal to the remnants. It...

You sealed it for good. You sealed them hungry rust monsters in there and they are eating 24/7. They love sealed up areas. They multiply and pull moisture from the next pin hole they make. The only way you are going to slow them. I said slow you will never stop them unless you park the truck in...

Yes if it is that far gone you would be wasting your money on Line X. It does a good job of noise reduction. But it is what it is. This is not a modern vehicle. It will be noisy. i never even had the noise insulation on the firewall under the hood like the civilian ones do. Yes so do what you...

I would NOT leave it to chance. That is me. Do as you wish. I know how bad they rust in PA. I have no coverings in any of mine but CARC or sprayed in Line X.

Sound proofing in a PA truck. That is a rust whorehouse. Trust me. Remove everthing you can that will hold moisture. These vehicles are looking for an once of mud stuck fast, mud to hold moisture and continue to rust. The only thing I found that does not hold rust is the spray in Line X. The...

WOW you are showing 4 different wheels. That can cause issues. The GM spoke wheel on the front has a different off set then the original wheels did. Newer vehicles put the wheels further under the vehicle and carry the weight on the outer edge of the rim. I would try removing the tires from the...

Does it have GM wheels that are riding on the hubs and the lug studs? Not just the studs like a Ford or Dodge 16" wheel would. And you can drive as fast as you want that should not make it vibrate more. That is a choice you have and I drive on interstates 78 & 81 everyday with an M1008 that is...
