^^ here's to hoping I come to the same solution.
Without any level of consistency I get shudders upon acceleration at 30 and 50mph, always a bit over 2,000rpm. The wiring harness was resting against the egr valve and blackened the point of contact. I re-wrapped and moved the harness away which...
Thanks for the advice guys.
I got it lifted and there were no stones in the brake areas. The brake pads have equal wear. The usual bearing test proved to be fine. When I manually rotated the hub there was no noise or anything out of the ordinary. The only cause for concern was when I moved the...
I very well may, many stone roads up here. Even so the squeal is evenly displaced and would the noise of a stone in the brakes dissipate at higher speeds?
It definitely doesn't continue in neutral and even after a long drive there's no noise until I slow to almost a stop. It certainly is bothersome, especially pulling into the garage.
My problem is that if I tear into it I won't be able to emulate the condition unless I'm in Drive and moving...
Good Day Gentlemen --

Symptom: Under 10mph engaged in Drive a rotational squeak is present until a full stop. The noise DOES NOT occur in reverse or in neutral rolling forward but only in Drive. When accelerating the noise naturally increases until it disappears at higher speeds.

I've had the truck for one year and spent much time and money baselining the beast. Along the way discovered talents that I thought I never had - many thanks to this board and all...
Bought a blue fan clutch in haste last spring. Refilled my Eaton before it arrived and the blue has been sitting in my basement since. Thought I would just hold onto it but its taking up space.
Paid $140 with shipping originally.
Selling for $110 w/ shipping to the lower 48.
PM please...
you might want to tighten both nuts to 20ft/lb or more. despite what others here will say 12lb/ft for new bearings is too low imo. i have mine set at 40ft/lb for both nuts w/ new bearings and with close to a thousand miles its perfect. i have checked my preload three times since the replacement...
crappy thing about the circlip is that there are no holes in the ring to help open it. i would think one could get the same size with holes at napa, they have many sizes in their catalog.
i used regular pliers to get it off. to get it back on i bought a cheap ring expander tool which was...
I first put in 6k and it made no difference. Put in 10k and it does make a difference, it doesn't go much above 195 going uphill on a warm/hot day.
One thing I'm miffed about - at the first start-up after putting in 10k I got the roar. Since then I no longer get a roar. It still works fine and...
Front axle rebuild in progress:
The birfield bell is all the way in the knuckle but feels loose and when I move it around I can hear it grinding a bit on that inner ring. Before the spindle goes on should the birfield be tight?
Thank You
seems like more than a few of us are doing the same thing. tore into mine this afternoon and everything is ready to be cleaned tomorrow. ran out of latex gloves a third of the way through, went to town with lava soap.
so the blue is weaker? I just ordered one.
I have an Eaton and replaced the silicone with a heavier weight. No roar, no noticeable temp differences and going uphill temp spikes remain. Mind you I've serviced/replaced the cooling system except for a rad replacement which isn't needed. I've read...
