3/4 ton rotor and hub. is yours pressed on or not?

[COCHEV]

did the bakes on my 95 3/4 ton truck today. i had to replace a wheel stud and the one they pulled up on the computer that matched the one i had was speced for a one ton. also in my manual it says that 1/2 and 3/4 tons have the rotors that just pulls off after you pull the wheel and the caliper and the one tons are pressed on. well mine is pressed on. my rig doesn't even have the FF 14 bolt, its just the semi so i don't know why i would have the one ton type front set up. can anyone shed some light on this?

I think all of the 8 lug are the same. 6 lug 2500's would have the seperate rotor.

BTW, small block 2500 and some 3500 trucks got the 8 lug semi float 14 bolt. Big blocks, diesels and most small block 3500 trucks got the full float 14 bolt. All 8 lug 2500's until about 2001 are 8600 GVW trucks regardless of engine or rear end.

BTW, I swear that GM uses some soft ass steel on those metric studs on the 88-up trucks. I have broken at least 2 on my 97 in the last couple of years, and recently broke one on a Tahoe I am working on. Seems to be the front only.

mine didn't break, it spun with the lug. had to grind and air chissel the damn thing off. pia!

so do one tons and 3/4 tons share the same front diff, carrier, and half shafts?

Yes, 8 lug 2500 and 3500 trucks have the same 9.25" diff, carrier, and half shafts (with a few changes through the years), suspension A arms (also improved around 96-97), and torsion bars (several different bars depending on GVW, and engine/drivetrain).
