    Ok,I bought this truck in late March. Since then I've lost 3 of the wheel caps. Do these things just pop off or is someone stealing them? I've got a new one on the way (after checking for fit I'll order the rest). Is there some trick to installing them? Thanks in advance for any help! Denny

    I still have my originals after 12 years. I doubt anyone is stealing them.

    Maybe give them a good wack or two with a rubber mallet. :notsure:

    I ran some steel winter wheels on the FG for quite a while. They were rather difficult to get seated perfectly. If they didn’t get seated, right, they would fall off.

    The wheel gets warm, expands, drops the cap. It was an issue with Centerline Auto/Drag wheels back in the day.
