Hey guys i need some help here. My dads 04 2500 was making some grinding noise from the front wheels. I know the brakes needed replaced so i went ahead and did that. After I did this i had the front end still up off the ground and when i try and turn the drivers side wheel it spins free for a second and then starts making a loud grinding noise and gets stuck. Can barely move it by hand. It takes a good amount of force to get it past that point. And then spins half a turn then gets stuck again.

Any ideas of what it could be? Thanks

 

Unless you have binding with the caliper, which would be easy enough to check with it in the air, I'd say HUB...

 

I will just have to pull the wheel back off of it tomorrow and see whats going on with it. Its only on the drivers side wheel that it does this

 

pull the caliper back off and see if it spins free without, if not then hub..and have fun...there stuck in there pretty good lol

 

Ha thanks.. Ive narrowed it down to the hub. do you know by chance the size of the socket i will need for the nut? i have to rent something that big. i know its close to around a 2 something right?

 

On my 02 the stock one is 35mm, but all the replacement ones I've been looking at online come with a 36mm axle nut. To play it safe I'd say rent both sizes, I seem to remember some posts say they had to use a 36mm socket and some 35mm

 

well we got a 36mm and it was to small. I had a buddy come out with his service truck and he had the right size i needed to get it done. All came out and went back together very easy. Thanks for your advice guys!

 

truck wont start

 

check engine light flashes 10 times then all the gears light up with a box around them

 

blkjack, first of all please read the rules of the forum, you should start a new thread. secondly if you want us to help we need information, do you have a 2nd gen or 3rd gen truck, since you posted this in another thread as well. what is your year, model, engine size, mileage, etc. Also if you have any after market accessories that could possible interfere with your issue (starting trouble, well do you have any aftermarket alarm systems or remote starters).

From the very limited info I'll just throw this out... Is "no bus" showing in the odometer window? If so you need a new instrument cluster.

As a side note maybe an admin or mod will just move all this into a new thread for you
