#20 of 38 Wheel Axle Nut by agdawg Oct 10, 2007 (5:52 am)
I just replaced the wheel hub assembly on my 2005 Crew Cab. The torque specs said to torque to 177 ft/pds. My torque wrench went to 150 ft pds. My question is it ok to kind of guess where the needle would be at 177 and to keep turning the torque wrench till you feel its at 177. The truck drove great to work this morning but I feel I need to go buy a new torque wrench that goes up to 177 and readjust the nut. Replies to this message: obyone (Oct 10, 2007 10:23 am)

Replying to: agdawg (Oct 10, 2007 5:52 am) That would be a good investment for future use as well unless you have a "real good feel" of what 177 ft lbs is. You don't have to buy a $500 1/2" Snap On torque wrench as a cheap one from Checkers or Sears would do.
#22 of 38 Rear wheel Spinning by maxum Dec 17, 2007 (1:34 pm)
Are there any known options that I might have to get better traction from my factory rear end. My truck has very low milage. Replies to this message: obyone (Dec 17, 2007 5:33 pm)

#25 of 38 2008 SILVERADO REAREND NOISE by netcrasher96 Dec 09, 2008 (8:42 am)
I have a 2008 Silverado 2wd. 3000 miles. When I make a slow speed turn (Left or right) I get a pop,pop,pop noise from the rear end. I had the truck serviced at the dealer. They told me the factory used the wrong rearend fluid. My dealer serviced the rear end with the correct fluid but I am still getting the noise. Also the front tires are cupping real bad. This is a point A-B vehicle. no hauling or abuse. anyone have any ideas? Replies to this message: obyone (Dec 09, 2008 8:45 am)

Replying to: netcrasher96 (Dec 09, 2008 8:42 am) Also the front tires are cupping real bad.   That could be due to alignment, improper balancing, or just plain crappy General tires.   The popping noise on turns could be a loose crossmember as obviously it's not the fluid in your rear end.
