falling apart piece by piece

I'm a peterbilt/kw fan but the toughest truck by far was the Canadian built western star before freightliner bought them had a 96 and it was a beast the old autocar and marmons were good too as far as macks the olds ones were tough the r model but I actually would like to be able to pull a load lol talk about wearing someone out driving a Mack all day pulling heavy loads would wear anybody out been there done that!!!

 

Lefty loosey, righty tighty.

 

WOW aint that pretty! You will probably have to call an axle surgeon out to put a new stub on the end, looks like a bearing burnt up.

 

That isn't always the case when it comes to stuff on the wheel ends....I've got 3 vehicles with righty-tighty lefty-loosey lugs on one side and lefty-tighty righty-loosey lugs on the other side. That looks like it would be on the side of the vehicle for the lefty-tighty righty-loosey to be a possibility (wheel's rotation would tighten it...not back it off), so if it doesn't break loose turning it to the left, try turning it to the right.

 

I don't think he was refering to a budd wheel nut or stud, I beleive he was asking about a spindle nut.

 

If it isn't budging to the left, it still wouldn't hurt to try it to the right. That's all I was saying.

 

Western star is the freightliner heavy duty brand! If need heavier go with their oskcoush brand.

 

ideal thread title. lol

 

The broken parts in dash are replaceable. Unsure of prices.
