5 Method MR703 17x8.5 0 offset 5x5 pattern
All wheels have scratches from off-roading.
One wheel doesn’t balance perfectly due to small area that’s bent. It's very minimal, no significant steering wheel vibrations -- just wanted to mention for full disclosure.
All 5 have BFG KM3...
tried this with a pick and a small flat head, didn't have any luck. it seems like there's a fair bit of contact between the rubber and the metal filler neck. maybe i'd need to get something longer in there....
did you have any trouble getting the metal fill tube off the rubber hose?
mine seems to be stuck on there no matter how much i try to twist the rubber off the metal
Not sure if there was ever a change in design or sealing of the fill neck to the rubber tube? Im swapping inner fenders and was trying to pull the whole thing to access it (channel lock method did not work) but the rubber won't budge from the fill neck at all. i ran a pick around the top part...
Update:
Very weird, I drove over 500 miles with the front driveshaft disconnected and meanwhile the service 4wd light went off. When I got to my destination for the trip I reconnected the front drive shaft and the FAD worked fine. Did over 400 miles off-road & no issues, drove home with...
the driveline vibration is 100% coming from FAD issue. That may or may not be why I have the service 4wd light. my codes are U1159 Lost Communication with Automatic Sway Bar System & U403: Implausible Data Received From T-Case
The front drive shaft is NOT supposed to spin in 2wd, but since the...
pulled drive shaft off front diff and just tied it off to front skid so it's still attached at transfer case & vibration is gone.
gonna put the 4 bolts on once I get to trail since i've got a few hundred off road miles planned & then will plan to get it properly fixed when I get back
agreed it's either stuck (electrical) or stuck (mechanical failure).
the vibration is caused by the drive shaft angle being too great for higher speed use. If i had minimal lift it might not be an issue but I have 4" of lift with 6.5 degrees of caster. my adams 1350 front driveshaft is fine...
unlikely bc that is more of a vibration you can feel in the steering wheel & see the vibration in the cab, whereas I'm experiencing harmonic vibration -- which is primarily audible. additionally, wheel balance issues worsen at higher speed but in this case it's RPM dependent ie. if going 65 but...
haven't checked codes...good idea lol -- i considered ABS sensors, checked all which are visually intact. the last time I tore off an ABS speed sensor I also got warning lights for traction control/ABS which I did not get this time, so I assumed that was not the cause.
yea, continued vibrations...
should depend on driveline angles. i'm running 4" lift with about 6.5 caster. i was considering going solid axle shafts from RCV but when i spoke to them they said for higher lifts to expect driveline vibrations on the highway so I decided to go with the 2 piece axle shafts (haven't installed...
