Oh, there'll be surplus 37x12.5R16.5 HMMWV tires coming for quite a while. After the MT's will be MT/R's and some BFG Baja's.

good to know...makes me feel better about ordering a newer rim for a spare, than the ones currently on my truck! I am going to keep an eye out locally for the next 2 weeks. but may end up biting the bullet and ordering a new one
if it would stop raining, I could get some truck work done. got a newly retubed DS just sitting there looking pretty.

Well. I got the shaft back on and took it for a spin. Vibration wasn't as bad but the metal grinding noise is still there when I let off the gas at around 45 mph or higher. Lasts like 2 to 3 seconds then stops

I dont think its anything new....I just notice it more now that I am on the road. I can saw the wheel back and forth and not much happens...makes for some sketchy steering. I noticed it big time tonight.
Check to see if your box is tight against the frame. The bolts may have backed out, this happens to me a lot.

to my knowledge, I dont have a frame crack. I think steering box needs to either be rebuilt, or tightened up.
I pmed 4x4high and he is sending me some instructions on tightening my steering box...but I have to remove it to do it.

what kind of box do you have? i recently installed a 2wd drive box and have the same problem. one thing i found is that my bolts backed out a little, i tightened them up but still have the same thing.
i think my box came from a 2wd truck with a diesel, which means hydro boost, which might be part of the issue but im not sure.

As for the whining your hearing, good possibility its a pinion bearing or ring and pinion..... my Cummins did the same thing after some hard wheeling...

Its the driveshaft angle. Mine did that so I started pulling leaves until it went away. I still get it on occasion but only when the suspension unloads

Well. Made some progress today thanks to cherryk5. Got a working seatbelt now! Also a bumper in waaaay better shape than mine was. Going to install a spare steerin box i got from Cherry as soon as my steering brace gets here. Good day!
Cherry drove it around and agrees that I might have a bent rim. Says my vibrations and grinding noises are my driveshaft. Says his used to do the exact same.

Just thought about it, but i may have some steel you can use to drop the tcase if you go that route
