Thread: Wheel issue

Tweet

You learn somthing new every day I stand corected but I don't beleave these were intended to suport the weight of the car/truck

Thanks for all the input. When I bought this truck back in nov of 2005. I seen this issue about the truck. But with rebuilding motors and some other issues. Forgot all about it. But today, My son told me one of the lug nut studs broke off and fell into the hub cap. I checked it out and then remembered the wheel issue. That,s when I tried to find some sort of spacer. Ofcourse I replace the stud. So it has 6 nuts on each wheel. It worrys me that stud broke. I,ve never seen a stud just brake off. So, just to ease my mind I,ll make some steel spacers on a lathe and put the load on the hub. By the way, Do you think it would be a good idea to replace all 24 studs?
