wheel bearing question and plow question
any reason why wheel bearings would be going? i had both front front ones replaced and the drivers side went within 2000 miles so it got fixed for free. and i still i have a clunk in my front end and i think the passangers side might be going because it clunks just driving down the road. even though town now on semi-smooth roads and its really getting on my nerves and i dont want my wheel to fall off and i dont wanna keep dumping money into wheel bearings if theres a reason why they keep going. its a 95 1500 4 wheel drive. completely stock except for exhaust (but that has nothing to do with the front end). stock tires, and i dont go mudding. i hateeeee money because i have none
also im going to the bank tomorrow to see if i can get a loan to buy into a landscaping business as partners. but the guy only has one truck and in the winter he plows with it. hes real busy plowing so if i buy in i would consider getting a plow for my truck to take some burden off of him and possibly get more plowing accounts. i only have a 1500. would a plow be too much stress on my front end? i did read on here about somone wanting a plow on a 1500 and something about putting 2500 or 3500 springs in the front but i dont rember anything else. if i do get a plow what size would my truck handle? its got the 360. and if i put 2500 or 3500 springs in the front, would they be a direct swap or so i hafta do something else? and with these springs would it change the ride height in the front (with the plow off that is. i know with the plow on it will sag in the front) 1 more thing. my tranny was just rebuilt. so is it risky to push a plow?
sorry about being so long winded but i appreciate all the help from everyone on here

RE: wheel bearing question and plow question
where you getting the bearings from, maybe you just got a bad batch. ive gone through 2 car quest hubs on the driverside and the passanger side is still the factory original and theres nothing wrong with it.
as for the plow, you can plow with a 1500, stiffer springs would help carry the weight of the plow. the tranny should be fine, i would just plow with overdrive off.
