I have working ctis and lockout hubs..
The shield maybe but CTIS air is supplied through the axle so you have a choice of Lockout Hubs or CTIS.
Can't have both (so far as I know).

I live in the mountains more or less, I don't plan on taking it into the bush. But at the same time I know it will end up there, sooner or later.The CTIS will work as long as there's space in the hub for air to flow from the inner wheel bearing into the hole in the side of the hub that's piped into the hollow wheel stud.
It looks like you'll have to modify or fabricate stone shields to fit around the lockout hub. You can probably do without the shields unless you're planning on off-roading with the truck.
What are holding on your existing shields? Mine use right-hand thread wheel lug nuts, the same holding the wheels onto the truck.Anyone have 4 spare nuts and a ctis cover they want to sell me?
I doubt I will ever technically need them.. but to be honest, I would bullet proof the entire truck if I could. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it I figure.Are you going to be trashing steering knuckle boots enough to need those? I'd consider getting zipper boots and replace them as needed.
Longer bolts shouldn't be hard to find.. I am going to see what the mechanic says tomorrow when I bring it in. Hopefully he can just wave his magic wand and get them put on for me.Pretty sure that's part of the steering arm. Looks like you'll need longer bolts, but I have no idea if that would make your steering any different or affect the safety aspect of it.
Thanks for the pic and the info. There are grease zerks on the both the top and bottom guards.Yeah I would agree not to install underneath of the steering arm. These are studs coming from the knuckle, not bolts and there is a spacer ( 8 ) that needs to get greased from the zerks on top. The steering arm is designed to sit directly in to of the knuckle.

That's right only on the top left steering knuckle, bottom on both sides and top on right side are all bolts that thread into the knuckle from the outside (see the inset picture for the right side axle)Are the studs only used on where the steering arm is connected?
Thanks HDN, after posting this I went on the hunt to find the culprit. Damn wasp had plugged the breather lineMy truck always clunks into 4th when I suddenly take my foot off the gas at around 30 MPH. Running it through the gears with full pedal it's a pretty smooth shift. I am still running 15W-40, though.
Sounds like a vent is clogged on the transmission. It shouldn't be shooting any oil out of the dipstick tube like that. I believe the vent line/tube runs up the back wall outside the cab.
