You sir, I owe a beer!
So last night I went up to a buddies and threw the truck up on 4 stands, ran it up to 45 and didn't hear a thing...at that point said OK, I give up, I will run it until the noise gets worse.
Since the truck was up on stands i figured i might as well rotate the tires.
Put the truck back down and took it for a ride....nice and quite!
I didn't realize how close the weights are to the steering knuckle! During the last outing i must have knocked 1 a little loose.
Best part is when i changed the CV/axle shaft i changed the axle seal because i had a very minor leak...now its major leak...must not have seated it properly going to put my old CV/axle and hub back on, at least i know where they have been and haven't been molested by some scrapper that pulled them.
