Front wheel issue
How's everyone doing. Has anyone ever experience the truck throwing the front lug covers off repeatedly. My drivers side front wheel has throw three lug covers off over a matter of months. When I put them on they are tight and can't pull off. This is on an 06 250. Thanks

I got rid of a 2006 F350 last year - never had one fall off.
Even though you say it’s tight when you pull on it, if you aren’t the original owner, I wonder if the lug nuts aren’t oem and are slightly smaller in diameter than the cover needs.
Maybe bend the clamps on the covers in a little more so that they grab the lug nut a little tighter

Just to be clear - they’re falling off while you’re driving - correct?
If not, and they’re just off your truck when you come out to use it, maybe someone is just messing with you. Even something like a squirrel or other varmit.

How are the roads you drive on and how are your shocks? To throw a tight snapped on cover takes some force.

Roads are not anything out of the norm. Shocks are probably 8 years old ranchos 9000s. That old thread about the rims seems like it could be my issue. I have those chrome caped rims on my truck.
