Hey Rob

Are you tightening every thing you touched on the truck this year, especially spring bolts?
 
I haven't yet but thanks for the reminder, considering I touched every single bolt on the suspension.
 
I tightened mine with an impact and got 2 full turns on the front again. It kinda becomes a thing

Are you dragging yours or driving it?
 
My ancient wooden creeper basically smashed to splinters when I was under it today but when the new one arrives I'll spend some time on every bolt.

I'll be dragging mine out.
 
That’s an implement spline driveshaft. Had a few of those...

It might have been close to possible to do it with the other amount of slip without tapping the tcase but I doubt it.

He dropped it when turtled and trying to free himself. Wrap got it, and now its farm duty time :)
 
Some things before BB
Last run I had an issues with power steering/hydro assist/hydro boost fluid getting SUPER hot so doubled up on coolers

Had some scary death wobble develop and I've been fighting with leaking rear output cover so I ordered some things to address is

Did the rear housing output while I was waiting for the front drive shaft, no leaks yet so fingers crossed (third time is a charm right?)
When I pulled the tie rod and drag link there was close to no preload on the king pins so hopefully I've got the death wobble handled.
Front drive shaft also installed, looks like I'm back in action 20200901_143058.jpg

Oh and I rolled under and checked all my bolts, good thing because some where uncomfortably loose, so thanks for the suggestion @Bent77

A widget. It’s like a doo dad, but for men

he made a t handle with a notch that correlates to the hub, so you can engage/disengage it
