Dually differences

[Rdnck84_03]

I didn't think that the o-ring on the cap went in that far.

If the hub is in otherwise good condition, just put a little rtv along that area before installing the cap.

I set the o ring in there, dang she's close! I may try the silicone idea... I'm currently in conversations with the eBay seller....

I guess that I have never looked at the dually hubs all that close. I figured that the cap sealed on that outer surface like the 1/2 and 3/4 tons do.

I think that silicone should be fine, all it has to do is keep dirt and water out.

Well another small thing I found that was different, and frankly can't believe I didnt think of it until I went to mount the rotors on.... SRW hubs rotors are held on by the lug stud. DRW they are bolted on... I dont have any of the bolts.

Looking into it, they use a proprietary bolt that has a 12 point flange head, 9/16-12 1.5" bolt. Part# QU20594. Guess what no one has locally and everyone wants a boatload of money for online...

So I went to Grainger and got myself some grade 12 capscrews instead. They zipped right in. Now I just need to find a torque spec for em.

FWIW, the bolt-on rotor shows up in other ford dually stuff. 2wd hubs with separable rotors, and some disc rears... just other places to score the odd bolts from.

Only place that had a dually at a wrecker was in Vancouver, WA. Almost an hour drive in rush hour traffic. These bolts went right in and torqued up. I torqued them to 115 ftlbs

Grainger was probably just a slightly smaller boatload unless you have the better account other than regular Joe off the street.

Whatever gets the job done!

I realized I was sitting on 32 of such bolts, within my collection of random ford parts.

I used my work account, $41 for 20 bolts and 25 split lock washers. Better than the $18 per bolt I saw online.
I imagine they didnt used an Allen capscrew due to rust and it rounding out. Luckily that typically isn't an issue where I am.

For those who have a natural dually, how does the spare tire go up, rim up to tank or rim down?

 

[IDIBRONCO]

Mine didn't come with a spare so I'm absolutely no help at all here.

 

[Nero]

Thats ok, due to bad luck I'm on the hunt for yet another rim... In the meantime I'm just gonna ride without a spare and pray for better luck.

 

[Rdnck84_03]

Since you say the chevy wheel specs the same other than the center hole, why not see how much a machine shop would charge to bore the hole out?

James

 

[Nero]

Ive thought about it, but I dont know of any machine shops. I'm sure there are tons of them out here, I would just need to look.

The spare for my Bronco was a Chevy rim. Someone (not mentioning any names here) torched out the center hole so it would fit on Fords. That's why it was a spare only.
