Ended up taking it to Les Schwab. I needed the truck done in a hurry and didn't have any time. Next time I will give it a shot.

New driver side hub assembly and the truck drives and sounds like new.

Great writeup. Can you do any damage by driving with BAD bearings for a long time?

I have been chasing a SQUEEK for weeks. I finally jacked up the front end and have some SERIOUS SLOP in the drivers side wheel. I am embarrased at how bad it is! :mad2: I checked it a year ago and it was fine. The passenger side is rock solid. My guess is that the noise is coming from...

Is it supposed to be BLUE?

I think it's 7 or 8 that I can't find. I believe it's the one under the AC compressor that should be replaced with the 90. I got 10 of the 11.

I have been fighting a serious SQUEEK in the front end. I greased all the fittings tonight (except one - couldn't find it). I looked closer at the passenger side after I was done. I think I put about 5 pumps from the grease gun. Is this going to go POP!?

I absolutely love these tires. I have the 265/75 16 E tires. They were awesome in the snow and ice. I would buy them again in a heartbeat!

Now it sounds like a really high pitch squeek, kind of like brakes do sometimes. It happens when I am going slow and turning. Braking or accelerating do not make a difference.

thanks guys!

So if he only plans to pull a 6,000lb trailer he should be good? He isn't looking to make big power or do anything special. He currently pulls the trailer with a F150 with a 5.4L engine.

My friend is determined to get a Furd! Main reason is that he can't find a GMC or Chevy diesel in his price range. What are the BIG problems with the 6.0? I have heard a ton of bad things about them and that you should stick with the 7.3. Any info would be helpful! TIA

It's getting worse. Happens when I turn to either side and mostly at slower speeds (under 10 mph)

While turning the wheel. Sorry I have been out of town for a while and hadn't checked the fourm.

Thanks. Does this cause any problems if not fixed, other than irritating noise?
