Is this normal, pretty sure it is.. I always thought it spun a little. This seems full speed.

Anyone know?

Are your hubs locked in?

 

Hubs. It should not spin.

 

Yep, hub is locked in, or, transfer case is in 4x4 and hubs not locked in.

 

I agree with everyone above.One or both of your hubs are hanging up.If they are turned out try jacking up the front of your truck were both front wheels are off the ground.Then spin the wheel and tap on the side of the hub housing with a small hammer and see if that helps.If not take the hubs appart and clean them.

 

My hubs are in auto, does that mean they are always locked?? I thought people had problems with them not locking..

Looks like I got work to do then

 

I dont know much about the auto hubs,sorry for that I thought they were just the manual hubs.

 

Mine are auto hubs, but the theory that one is locked is supported by a mysterious front end clunk while turning that isnt ball joints.

 

I know they run on vacum.Other than that I believe they are very close to the same.Maybe st try what I sugested.I would start with tapping the housing first before you tear them apart.

 

Its not a vacuum issue. I know this because I just went through and fixed that! Grrr

 

No I wasnt saying it was a vacum issue I was telling you thats about all I knew about them.

 

First thing is to make sure the hubs are actually still locked. Get in behind the wheel and try to turn the front axle u-joint with a big screwdriver or bar or something. If it won't turn then the hub did not automatically unlock when it should have (assuming the hub dial is indeed in Auto). If they are locked, turn the hub dial back and forth a few times and see if they'll unlock. Either way, if they are locked, the hub probably needs removed, cleaned and re-greased.

Follow guzzle's hub lock cleaning procedure. You need a thin white grease in the inner workings. NOT axle grease. It's too thick and won't let the hub operate properly.

There is enough drag in the hubs to cause some spin in the drive line even when the hubs are not locked.

 

I will service the hubs soon. Probably a good idea regardless of the problem. Wont be today, as its my work truck and I cant have it go out of service today.
