Where is everyone #5

The only warning for brakes that I have had was for an auto. Got out of the habit of checking adjusting.

 

I might do things different than alot. But the tru balance pins to align the hub pilot wheels to the studs makes a world of difference. It however takes time and is not fast, so most wont use them. It will solve a lot of issues that came with hub pilot, that stud pilot never had. But newer is better right! I will not install a set of wheels without them. Dont buy knock of version either, they aint the same.

 

My only problem with stud pilot steers is it seems like the studs take all the shock of hitting the pot holes. I’ve never broke a wheel stud unless it was stud pilot and I’ve broke 5 of them

 

Not bad now but I wonder what the shelf life is

Well you could swap hub pilots on, but seems something is a miss. Or you have big fricken pot holes. Start with using a torque wrench yourself and see if the problem improves? Most studs break (shear) only when over tightend buy a large air wrench. They get beat to death if to loose.

 

Three active codes on the dash after spending nearly half my previous week in a dealership?...




I gotta tell ya. This trucking thing hasn’t been fun lately...

 

At least you are learning on there dime what you will never own later in life! Not your fault.

 

The Stomach is currently having withdrawals. I noticed Iron Skillet has a “Blueberry Pancake” option on the menu now...

They didn’t live up to the title. So it’s been mad at me all day for not dropping wagon and bobtailing to the nearest Cracker Barrel. I’ve been a piss poor owner and host — in his words.

 

The only time I have seen front stud pilots break is being left loose. Usually if they break when going back on they were already stressed and just survived the dismount.


@rank one thing you may give some thought to is making sure you have the right drums on. I have seen too small a hole drum used on the rears that created issues. I'm with @Oxbow might have a lil something going on
