    Will CTIS Protectors mount to a Hutchinson aluminum wheel?

    I’ve not gotten ahold of aluminum wheels yet. As it stands I don’t think it would work without modification of the attachment bolts. They are long and bottom out in the lug on my steel rims just as the protectors make contact.

    Have you installed 3.07 gears in your truck? Kindly step in I have something to ask

    Originally I had planned to do this myself, but looking at the work decided to have Bryce W do the gears on my truck. It is by far the best upgrade. I noticed that it is quieter, rpms come down to a reasonable range at 55-60 mph (where I cruise) and temperatures are lower. Perhaps the 3116 (A0)...

    Noisy axles at LMTV

    @Floridianson is correct. I just got drivelines back from complete ($2077.) rebuild, new splines, new u joints, balanced, everything. Vibration persists though it did help.
