- Start date
started it, pulled a trailer out to work on a buddies rig, cleaned the garage up and then put her back to bed. poor girl needs a bath too
Im having an issue with my truck at higher speeds.. Around 65mph+ and the faster I go, the more rapid the noise gets. It sounds like a knocking noise coming from the drivers front tire area, could it be my cv? Its had a torn boot for several months and im not sure if that may be the issue? My guess is that it is, I just want to be sure before I spend the money.

I havent noticed it when I turn, the noise (popping or knocking) started yesterday as I was driving to case grande at around 68mph.. I think their may be little to no grease in the outer boot as I accidentally tore it a while back.
CV or at least a boot for sure and some new grease is in order. But I'd check to make sure your hub on that side isn't bad now because of it
Ok, Ill go get a new cv and install her! Hopefully that fixes the issue, which im sure it will.
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!
If it's making that much noise, reach under there and wiggle it. If it clanks around, you found the issue.
Eh i bought a new cv, ill install it tomorrow and test drive it.. It was leaking for a while anyways so I might as well replace it.. I also wont be able to do any 4wd boosted launches with a cv with no grease in it haha......... I mean after I get some sleeves and a centerlink brace
I replaced both my cv's today. Passenger side sploded a boot and flung grease everywhere and drivers wasn't far behind. Got both from Napa reman for like 70$ a pop
Yeah, I watched a quick vid of the replacement of the cvs and it looks so very simple
doesnt really matter now but they make boot kits for 15 bucks lol.
both my outer boots have been replaced, the front half shafts are the only thing i havent replaced driveline wise :rofl:
i dont trust them. the inner cup is thinner on them and ive had a few buddies return them after just a few thousand miles for "clunking noise". if/when the inner boots tear, ill be pulling all the boots off, cleaning the old grease out and putting the nasty ass special mix grease i use in my sand car CVs in these. they will probably out last the truck after that lol
on a side note, i already know what brian is gunna say as well. "eh i dont care, its not a race truck. ill just go get a new one if these give me issues" :roflmao:

A quick ? I have the wheel off, hub cap off and when I put pressure with my hands on the rotor trying to move it side to side, there is a little bit of play there. When I have the wheel and tire on, there isnt any play so im guessing its normal. Also, the 36mm nut is freakin tight! I cant get it off with a breaker bar, yet

With no wheel holding it the rotor will move slightly. Tighten a lug nut down or two and see if it still moves. If so you have an issue..
36mm socket has about 185ft lbs on it, if someone didn't use a impact..

stopped in SoCal Diesel today and flashed in 5 tunes, cant seem to stop running the FAST one:thumb::thumb::thumb:, and found out i bought a truck that must have had a dsp 5 switch in it at one time and it was removed by "yanken the wires out and leaving the damb pins in the harness" method 
, but for now i am running the big tune and she sure is FUN:woott::woott::woott:
