No problem.
Ya got them installed, seem like they will work good. I'll see tomorrow, I'm haulin my tractor in to get the rear tires filled with Chloride, so we will see.
Why is it going to take so long to get them installed?

As for taking so long to get them on, every place I called that take appointment's are booked for the week. ( I think when they hear I have my own tires already, they leave the spots open for people who are going to purchase and have them installed there; with the incoming weather, but thats just my guess) I guess we're going to pick them up at 3:45 then try to wait in line at either wal mart or ok tire to see if we can get them on yet today.

Happy Thanksgiving ND! Pretty cold out there this morning, and what ever happened to this snow we were supposed to have... Got my hopes up for nothing. lol I guess its probably best we didn't get any, since I cant seem to get my truck's 4wd engaged this morning. Any idea's what might cause this? I don't even think my hubs are locking. I'm off to do some searching on the problem.

I'm willing to bet there may be. one side took a bit to get it freed, but turned freely after that. Normally its pretty smooth. I don't know why I can never find wd40 when I need it. Them cans always seem to never work very long for me. lol I'll probably throw a heater on them and see if I can get it to lock. I do know the front ds locks, just not turning the wheels

So, with the t-case in two wheel drive, and the hubs locked, can you turn the Drive shaft? If so, what front axle shaft spins when u turn the shaft? That's how I'd start to see what hub(if not both) isn't working.

Ok, so 4x4 should work. Unless its the tcase.... now with the hubs unlocked, tcase in 4x4, drive shaft still lockEd?
Or can you hear the hubs "clicking" at all when u try to drive it in 4x4?

I couldn't hear the clicking. Funny part is when I normally drive it with the hubs lock but 2wd the front shaft makes clanking sounds the whole time, I didn't hear that this time driving it.
I'll go check to see what happens with the hubs unlocked

Ok the ds is locking, hubs are unlocked. So I guess maybe it thawed out or something, I did put heaters on the hubs. Or maybe it was just that slippery, but I doubt it. I'll have to drive it again to make sure its working.

Yeah no doubt, me too. I guess I've never had any issues with it ever in gauging but I remember reading a few threads which people had, so I figured it was something simple. One thing I learned today is the search on this site kinda sucks. Didn't come up with any results, just errors.
So you all ready to stuff your face? I love thanksgiving! lol
