    Sleeved nuts are useless on duals. And that rim ain't mounted square. Plan as day.

    When was I out there with Schlumberger that was a cool ride down 191 through flaming gorge coming down from rock springs. A very slow ride at a 100k gross

    Well yeah that's how it was when the first nut was buzzed off. The sleeved nuts I got go through into both wheels on the back.

    Do not use sleeved nuts that go thru booth wheels. The inside will not stay tight. I've been down this road, tested tried. 2-3 years ago I told you how to solve this problem. And which brand. Im not telling you this for my health. YOU DO NOT sleeve duals.

    Problems that did not exist with budd wheels.

    I got a stack of empty bottles next to me and I ain't too quick to begin with, so it took me a while to see it lol. I wonder if those trubalance centering pins would help here?

    Those are what he's talking about. I was under the impression the lugs did the same thing and stayed there so they'd technically be better than the pins you took off after putting some lug nuts on. Either way doesn't seem that centering them made a difference.

    I'd give it a try if I were you. If you don't want to buy the pins, there are some plastic things that you can put on the lugs before you mount the rim that are supposed to do the same thing, and they stay on after mounting. I forget who makes them though.

    From what I thought I understood these lug nuts were supposed to work the same way as those pins do. Southern tire mart did tell me if they didn't work I could pull them off and they'd give me my money back for them.
