    No, I had that set off a few months ago. Thing is, it's the driver's side with left handed thread. Well my gun puts out like 1,800lbs torque in reverse. So I was trying to get them on tight, but not too tight. Did good on the ten lugs and nine pilot studs, but I guess I gave that one a couple too many "ugga duggas". That Harbor Freight gun is like trying to handle a rabid hamster.

    This most definitely gave someone some dirty draws.

    I don't know what happened boss? The truck just stopped moving...........

    See........it is possible to do a PM service with your eyes closed? This is what a 1 hour oil change will get ya.......

    Hilarious. Lack of driver attention.

    Pretty common at our company

    I hate that this might be a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway since we're looking at driveline carnage.

    None of my slip-yokes have grease zerks on them, and the splines are booted. Do you guys use a syringe fitting to grease them, or just leave them alone? It bothers the HELL out of me. The times I've had to drop the drivelines, the slip-yokes slide nice and easy, but still...

    Never understood why they don’t make the support bearing greasable. They are funny things tho in how some can go a million or more miles and 10-20 years with no problems and some can’t last a year or two.

    Thats another thing I never understand. Put important stuff out board frame next to steer tire so it can get shrapnel from the constant road debris flack getting thrown at it.
