Haha yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaa. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhttttttttttt.

 

Yeah, I know.......... fuck that!

 

Y'all are boring as hell

 

I dropped my iPhone 6 plus. One foot from the ground (consider also I've dropped it from 2 story deck once, it fell out of my truck like 40 times from when i forget it's in my lap and jump out.) and it shatters the screen. I was sick... But paid $70 to apple (AppleCare) and shipped it out on Monday evening around 3. And Wednesday around 11 I had a box from Apple with a new iPhone.

 

What's that... I will have a couple of boxes for the truck this weekend

 

I just got back from helping ferry 6 apaches from Mesa AZ (the Boeing plant where they're made) back here. 12 hours of flying in two days. glad to be home, thats for sure! doesnt look like I missed too much though.

Kurt, I hate youre prob not coming to Windrock.

Mike, glad ya got the flip kit to cooperate, I need to look into doing the same.

 

the vibration is not really better. My carrier bearing needs attention now. Probably have a u joint going bad too.

 

Wheel bearing

 

Maybe. We have tests for that coming up ......

Ok so it's narrowed down quite a bit. It's not engine related because it only occurs while rolling. It's not trans or tcase because it persists with the clutch in and in 2wd. This leaves 5 things left that are spinning while your truck is rolling ...... Wheel bearing, front driveshaft, rear driveshaft, rear diff/axles and front axles. You said its not coming from the rear of the truck, that eliminates rear diff/axles and rear driveshaft. So let's check the other 3.

Driveshaft is easy to check. Does it have any side to side movement. If so then you need new ujoints.

Front axles. Jack the truck up and spin a tire with the suspension drooped. If you hear any kind of poping or grinding noise from the boots and/or it's pretty hard to rotate then your bearings are gonna implode pretty damn soon.

Wheel bearing. This is the most likely. Do one or both of these tests .......

Test 1: While driving with the noise on going, take a sharp turn one way and then the other way. If the noise goes away while turning left then the left wheel bearing is going bad. If the noise goes away while turning right then the right wheel bearing is going bad. The point of this test is when you turn left the weight of the truck will shift left putting a lot of weight on the right side of the truck and relieving it from the left side. This will take pressure off the bearing and temporarily relieve the noise.
Test 2: Jack one side of the front up so that the tire is off the ground. Set it on a jack stand so that the truck is stable in the air. Grab the tire at 12 o clock and 6 o clock and push back and forth. If there is any play at all then your bearing is going bad. This wont work if you grab it at 3 o clock and 9 o clock because you will get steering rack play but at the first mentioned spots there should be no suspension play and any other play will be the wheel bearing. If you get someone to watch the hub as you push and pull the tire, if there is play then you will see it where the axle seals to the back of the hub. If this is the case then make sure you replace the inner seal as well

 

And may be sending a couple of boxes to me if you would ever fucking respond
