They are 395/85/20 Michelin xzl's. Yes they are a3 wheels that I lucked into for an excellent price. Otherwise I would have used mrap wheels.

Narrowing? Please clarify. Cause the track width of my truck is as wide or wider than duals.

Ouch. That sucks on the cracked knuckle. I had a busted hub on my truck. Really screwed up my hub flip project. I know your pain.

Yes. You should flip the hubs with mrap wheels. A3 wheels are only chamfered on one side.

Flipping the hubs is the correct way to run super singles. A3's came with their hubs flipped.

Why the hatred of flipping the rear hubs. I can flip one start to finish in 30 min. It also gives more clearance for the tires if you are using an m105 bed.

I would imagine a Michelin xzl would be the better mud tire. I will say this, I had a hard time choosing between the goodyear mvt and Michelin xzl. Both are great tires. I do not like the Michelin xml. I ended up choosing the xzl because they were 25$ cheaper than the mvt at the tire yard I...

That's my point. As long as oil is getting in the bearings they aren't going to suddenly fail. Not saying they don't need to be looked at. I'm quite familiar with a3 Rockwells. I also agree the more of the ctis crap he gets rid of the better.

Gear oil in the bearings isn't nearly the crisis some believe. In fact if there was a way to seal the oil in the hubs I would rather it be oil bath. The bearings run cooler and longer bathed in oil than they do in grease. The problem is the inner seal will not hold oil in a 2.5 Rockwell hub.

I did on mine. I can set my bleeder on my fender and never mess with that stupid trap door.

Bill I don't even wanna know how many man hours you put into your deuce but every time you post a picture of it I am impressed that much more.

Just be careful drilling the holes. It's kinda a guessing game but there are 2 holes in the bracket that holds the reservoir to the cab. I had to straddle a support gusset that divides the cab vent pocket from the interior of the truck.

I put mine on the firewall where I can drop the side cover and have a look.

Actually, does the pulley line up. Cause if it does just cut that shaft down. You will also probably need to move your primary fuel filter to the underside of the framerail. At least I had to on mine.

Here's mine. Again this is a 27si not a 21si. The bottom ears are a bit narrower looking that what's in yours. Though you can't tell from the pictures.

I have been through the oreily rebuild lottery quite a few times. Usually the starters and alternaters I get work.....for about 6 months to a year. If it wasn't for the lifetime warranty I would just have my local shop rebuild them. When he does a starter or alternater for me it lasts many...

This is exactly why I had my alternator shop build me one.

I know the trucklite ones run 10-36v. I think the grote units do also. But I'm not positive.

One more hint to locating your short. You said you heard a clicking noise. That is usually the circuit breaker in the 3 lever light switch tripping. Another sign of a short.

I thought if you put the adapter 90° to the torque wrench you didn't need to adjust the torque setting. I could be wrong though. It's been a while since I needed to adjust torque because of an adapter.
