Just bought a truck, forgot to put it in 4wd...

Elko Nevada if his profile is correct

 

Might as well say " middle of nowhere".

 

BFE

 

Jeez, seems like some of these hubs for certain trucks are just a pita to track down.. We found one with the correct body and length, but the top portion of the hub beat up. We plan on swapping out the switch/actuator portion with one of the newer ones we ordered.

, And yes Elko is in the middle of nowhere..

 

I lived in stagecoach in the late 70's early 80's I know all about middle of nowhere

 

Unrelated question, but when I bought the truck it sat pretty much perfectly flat, but now it appears that it has about 1.5 to 2.0 inches of droop in the back? I know the lift was installed very recently, and I also live on a pretty rough road. I am assuming that the rear end of the truck got broken in since the previous driver only drove it on pavement?

 

What is lifting the front and what leaf pack is in the rear. Pics would help

 

I am not sure of the exact setup, just know its a 6 inch Fabtech lift. I will take pics of the truck before I purchased it, and now currently tomorrow.

 

Just stopping in to say I'm proud of OP for fixing this shit and making it work instead of unloading it on someone else.

 

What does that even mean? If it's a fab tech I bet your springs have a negative arch now

 

My guess too, but if he gets pics there will be no guessing.

 

From this pic it looks like it was already sagging.

 

Thanks man, couldn't have done it without you guys.

Yeah maybe I just started noticing it? I checked under the truck today and I didn't notice anything wrong with the leafs, or their mounts.

 

Then maybe throw a aal in there or a bigger block to level it out.

 

Well, she is all fixed up. Got the new hub assembly and installed it, also reinstalled the driveshaft as well. Only question I have is why the diff isn't taking the right amount of oil? I put in about .75 Qt's and it started coming out, so I figured that I needed to cruise around the truck for the oil to cycle through the front bearing and side tube. I drove it around for a short period of time, took off the cap and tried to put some in and it wouldn't take any =/

 

That is very possible

 

2 inches is a lot of settling. There are no other changes? You didn’t add a cap?

 

Wow, lesson learned!! Never trust a sellers word, test it all!! Glad you got it going...

 

Drove the truck around last night, it doesn't like to come out of 4wd for some reason? I tried to put it in 2wd and it didn't want to disengage at all, except a few times. Eventually I just unlocked the hubs....

 

What type of road surface?
