    Poly beads for tire balance

    Ok, did some more reading on this. The reason I'm feeling shimmy in my steering wheel, which I didn't previously have is because the beads do not work well for lateral balancing.. I had a type of hopping, or radial balance issue that existed before and that is completely gone. This makes...

    Poly beads for tire balance

    Update on mine. Got them installed on a new set of wheels, with used Goodyear Duratracs. They seem to work great at lower speeds, but I get a vibration around 75mph and some weird pulling/shaking in the steering wheel that did not exist previously. Just had my alignment done a few weeks ago and...

    Rcv IWE eliminator kit

    The main advantage of the RCVs over just disengaging vacuum would be strength. There is A LOT more shear area on the RCV splines when compared to the stock IWE hub and I would be willing to bet the material is much stronger (nearly everything they make is out of 300M lol.) The downside to...

    Upgraded IWE

    I had some issues when installing mine, thinking that you leave the IWE actuator in place. I called RCV and you have to remove the ENTIRE IWE. The entire piece shown here (with the 3 bolt pattern) comes out, and the sleeve takes it's place. It seemed weird to me at the time also, but once I...

    2011 White SCREW in Utah

    Welcome! I'm in Utah also so keep an eye out for a Terrain Crew Cab with a SVC front bumper. Your spreadsheet and analysis seems a lot like what I did. The Raptors are actually a great deal when compared to other options, esp. if you consider depreciation. It was actually cheaper for me to own...

    Newbie from N. Utah

    Dude's 2017 Build Thread!

    I love the look of those wheels but I've always thought that curved spoke design just has a ton of stress concentrations.. However, I'm sure it's possible to destroy any wheel under the right (or wrong) conditions. Do you have any more close up pics of where the wheel failed? Was it at the...

    Raptor challenger

    The more options the better. I have all kinds of makes of vehicles. The Raptor is my first Ford and I'm stoked on it. Still, I'm intrigued by the new ZR2 Colorado and I really hope Nissan has the balls to follow through with the Titan Warrior concept...

    Warranty for Life - Wrap

    He edited the post lol. I was thinking it was about vinyl wrap also. Ohh the things I could have replaced with a LIFETIME parts warranty lol. I'd make sure there isn't some clause about maximum replacement costs and voiding the warranty due to abuse..

    How To Change Fox Bump Stop Pad for Towing

    For the guys that did not like towing with the bumps in contact I'm curious how much pressure were you running? I tow a 8000lb trailer using the SVC adjustable bump kit. I started out ~150psi in an attempt to get the truck nice and level and that was uber-stiff, esp after it heats up (it's a...

    Engine whistles when cold

    I've had a whine going on this winter when starting cold. I planned on replacing my serp. belt anyway, guess I'll do the pulleys too. I'm thinking I'll do both puleys and the idlers shown below (#2 and #4) Anyone know which ones were replaced to fix? Also, did you replace them yourself or...

    Most people are already carrying these but I always keep ratchet straps in my truck. I've used them just like these trac grabber deals: https://www.amazon.com/Trac-Grabber-Unstuck-Traction-Solution-Cars/dp/B01BDWRECU You can run them thru your wheel spokes and put the metal ratchet piece on...
