I’m gathering you put a new hub on something? Your F150 ?
And new bearings but didn’t install bearing races in the hubs? Yes that would induce ALOT of lateral play or just simply destroy the bearings. IDK as I’ve never tried to run a vehicle like that.
Or I could be totally off base because you’re hard to follow.
But you seem to make every query like a mystery where we the audience can’t guess what you’re going to ask or say next. Sometimes pertinent to the discussion, sometimes or in left field.
Contrary to what you think, I and others ARE trying to help you. BUT in the short couple months I’ve been on this board, you’ve probably posed 100 different questions about 100 different issues or situations and as quick as it starts, you’re on to the “next” issue without solving or even digging into the original issue.
Hence my sarcasm sometimes.
Generally when someone posts a question about AN issue, they are actively workin on it and their intention is to fix it and move along. Not ask about 1 thing then another then another then wait what is this unrelated thing in my parts pile then wait what about this other issue then, then, then.....
By the time you get help or suggestions about 1 thing, yoube moved on to something else without resolving the first thing.
Don’t use “working an exhausting 50 hr a week job” as an excuse. That’s an excuse and nothing more. If you want or need to fix up your “fleet”, do it. 1 thing at a time. Solve one problem and move onto the next one. Or you’ll be asking about the same chit next year and the year after.
And you know nothing about my background. Although we all know your background because you spend more time telling us about that than fixing your vehicles. That was my point in my previous post.
Don’t worry, you won’t get under my skin. I just try to be helpful and will try to help you or anyone else tomorrow just the same as today.
But in order for anyone’s help to be beneficial to you, you actually have to not only listen but act on it.
Cheers, good luck fixing this repair or whichever repair is most urgent.
I will use it as an excuse, because it wears me out.
Everything I learn is helping me understand more, and when I Get time I work on issues. For example, i have a headlight retainer and fuel pump on order as well as a fuel filter(free one with edelbrock literally is dissolving with 91 100% Unleaded). But as of late, ive been spending my time fixing my daily because that takes priority on a list where the square is the plow truck.

But with the time I can spend here, I can learn more and understand far more going ahead, so times i can do projects and spend time Its spent 1) efficiently 2) comfortably.
for example, way back when i did my tailight harness i did the wirign and soldering and joining inside my house when it was -30 out, and when it got a tad warmer like 15 degrees, i actually put it on and was very quick and easy, because of my research.
I have a lot of problems to fix, and not much time to manage them. I also have little background to many of these systems from the last few years of wrenching. everything is taught myself, but most of my knowledge came from fwd automatic sedans with OBD systems, fuel injection, computers, luxuries, aftermarket plug and play, etc. SUspensions with entirely different setups. engine bays i could reach things. Not much of that truly applied when it came to the trucks.
And i put new hubs on f150 and 1 on the square. reused bearings(seemed fine, no scores) but had new hubs. didnt even know or think about outer races, not even when it came to research for the square. nothing i looked up mentioned it, which isnt anyone here fault but i was ignorant to the fact, so how could i have checked it?
but i know it now. and want to understand it, so when i go in for u joints i can do it correctly because i, to your surprise, care about doing things right. At least not half-assed, like using a pen to fix a vac tube
edit: and the only person who i seem to havee issue with is you, grit. but thats never started by me. Vbb, bucket, hotrod, lego, olds, 79, etc all have given advice, input, context that ive used or will be using to help fix my stuff. and sometimes my ignorance helps bring out information, like where i found the heater hose routing in my shop manual and it was helpful to a few. or oil cooler location for bucket. Sometimes i have spare parts laying around that can help see what was "stock" because its untouched, like a fuse panel or factory buckets long ago.
I have a wealth of stuff in my hands, but lack all the required info to use it. Comfortably. And i wish I had more time, like working 1st shift instead or just less hours but COVID really ****** that.
I may seem like i dont take anything said seriously, but we all understand how we have ideas in the pipeline, yes? my pipe just happens to reduce to a 1 inch outlet and has a lot of buildup and blockage that will take time to sort through.
This and my squares are my escape from reality. And unfortunately reality has a lot of obligations, responsibilities, expectations, stresses, demons, and new things to throw at me on the daily basis.
SOMETHING ALWAYS NEEDS FIXING.
Tomorrow its the John Deere because it wont keep RPM with blades engaged. Well, in 4 hours... and look at the time its well past sleep
