Does that include installation?

Steve2003

Reed, the 3 inch adapters from complete value are not hub centric. His reguler price is $90.00 so if he gives me half price that will be $45.00 + $10.00 for shipping and then the cost to ship them to you. Let me Know what you wan't to do and then I can email him back.

Ok, Reed I sent him a email and told him to send me a invoice for 3 inch wheel adapters/spacers I will let you know when he gets back to me.

Steve2003

HenryJ wrote:Hmmm, anybody need a set of spacers?

That's what I was thinking

Half price but double shipping charges. It would still be a good deal! Hurry now anyone, while the deal is on the table

Steve2003

I got the other 5 studs monday and installed them into the wheel adapters and put the wheel adapters on my truck. It all worked out really well :thumb: Anywho! Dwight Long from completevalue responded to my email today. Best I could do is sell you a new pair of spacers for half price + $10 shipping....

Steve2003

At first I didn't like the scrath marks either but no one else noticed them and I soon got over it.

Steve2003

Go with the BFG AT KO'S, they are rated for 50,000 miles.
I got a great deal from Discount tires/ Americas tire. There prices beat everyone elses price by $75.00 and that's including mounting & balancing.

Steve2003

One adapter done.
Tools used

The spare

Worked out really well

For those who may be following along here...Steve, you need to find a shop that handles Dorman studs. As near as I can tell the one that matches should be # 610-376 No one here had them in stock to compare for sure. They run $1.50 each. Hj, you nailed it! Dorman # 610-376 is almost a excact fit abo...

Steve2003

I take it they never e-mailed you back? Your right they never did :x I can think of several places nearby that sell a huge assortment of wheel studs like Pep Boys I have not checked there but I don't see them being much help either. They're just like the rest of the dumb A$$ auto parts stores. If y...

Send me an invite. Marsha has been getting outbid on her Brighton jewelry stuff. Lord knows I have to keep Marsha happy

The more money I can save her the more money I can put in my truck.

Steve2003

HJ What places are you looking at for them that say they are out of stock? I've been checking with speciality wheel shops and they've been telling me to check automotive part stores, NAPA, Kragen, Autozone etc. Someone told me to check a place called Inland Wheel & Tire. I went there and they told m...

Steve2003

I put MOOG balljoints and new wheel bearings on every year, and not because I want to. What are you doing to your truck that requires new wheel bearings and ball joints every year? :shock: Steve Maybe he's doing something like this. :lol: http://www.s-10crewcab.com/og1/galpics/azinvasion/images/32-...

Hey Steve2003,

Where did you get your light bar? I have been looking around for an ORI, but can't find one anywhere except from their site and none of the links work on their site. I was trying to find one from one of the places that has free shipping.

Yeah, I have seen this and Four Wheel Parts sells them for about a grand.

I don't plan on spending half that.

I was told that back in the day GM used the same axles for the front and the back and then you add the knuckles, it made the front wider, and thats how this all got started.

Steve2003

Eliminate the source and live with the discoloration. That's not an option :lol: Marsha lives to ski. Maybe we should start taking her car :wink: Clean and lightly paint the hubs/drums.

Steve2003

Well guys thanks for all your help. I tried the SOS pad, the Eagle One Wheel cleaner and nevr-dull. I got a lot of the rust off, but there is still a lot of rust left on the spacers.

Steve2003

Yes some pictures please, I want to see that beast.

Steve2003

Thanks Bob I'll check my local Napa, right now my spacers are sitting in the sink waiting for their beauty treatment

Steve2003

Anyone have any ideas on how to remove the rust from my spacers? You spacers should be aluminum and what you are seeing is transferred from your hubs. I used a drill and wire brush and it came off nicely. It also solved a slight vibration I had. I cleaned the hubs as well. Just a thought. Someone m...

Steve2003

Anyone have any ideas on how to remove the rust from my spacers?

Steve2003

That looks cool Top

So did you remove your spare tire jack stuff to fit that in? I might want to do that mod since the jack is of no use to me anyway

Steve2003

I didn't think you did Jeff.I Was just messin with ya.

Steve2003

Wow! you guys are responding to a post that is exactly one year old today.

Steve2003

loki, What is your plan? are you going to buy four wheel spacers or two?
If you are getting four you would want bigger spacers in the back and smaller ones in the front

Steve2003

Wow! that sucks!

Steve2003

Just out of curiosity, does that price include duties and or taxes? The reason I ask is that I have a side business and just started shipping outside the US. I have shipped once to Brazil and they get killed on taxes.

Steve2003

Congrats Walt

I have four kids three girls and one boy

My two oldest daughters have already moved out and I have a 19 year old son and a 17 year old daughter still at home, so it's all even now

Steve2003

Well OK then! Napa's price was about $1.50 a stud, either way I will be saving at least $50.00 and the learning experience is well umm, I guess umm! You guys sure do have a way of getting me to work on my truck myself

Actually once I start doing it It's prety cool.

Steve2003

Hj, how about I send you one of the studs and if you think the Moser Engineering ones will work then I can order them.

Thanks for all the help!

Steve2003

I don't think yours will work Jeff, besides I need eight studs and would just rather replace all ten. Thanks though! by the way what does lmao stand for?

Steve2003

Shoot I'm doing to many things at once, I measured the wrong side of the paper

1 3/4

yours are to big.

Steve2003

Jeff can you take those measurements?

Steve2003

Another good idea

between 3 1/16 and 3 1/8

Steve2003

Measure the hole in the spacer that you removed the stud from. As long as the splines on the new studs will be tight enough they should work.

Good idea

Steve2003

Steve2003

My spacers are 1 1/4 Hub centric. The studs measure 2 1/16 to where the threads stop, they look really close but I think mine are a little longer. Jeff are yours 12mm? Can you count the threads? mine have 18 threads. I guess yours will work if they are the same circumference. That was the problem I ...

Steve2003

I need eight of them, only two look to be still useable. Jeff where did you get yours from? EDIT: I have a couple pictures of the studs. On the top of the head of the stud there is the letter U and the number 176 http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid202/pb75d160b57da4ba13dda7453af4f3333/efc9c836...

Steve2003

I'm prety sure I got them from completevalue. I sent him a email to see if he had the studs or if he new where to get them. If he can't help me I will take you up on that offer and send you one of the studs.

Thanks

Steve2003

We don't have Advance auto parts here. I tried autozone,Kragen and Napa with no luck. The studs are not the same as the application for our trucks. Napa was the most helpful they even got their caliper and tried to find the right studs.

Steve2003

I got the old studs off, that was easy. When I put the new studs in do I line them up flush with the surface of the spacer?

Steve2003

Ok, that's what I was thinking. Thanks for the quick reply.

Steve2003

What,s the correct size stud I need for the wheel spacers? I know they are 12mm but what about the length or are they a standerd size?

Steve2003

Way to go Hobie!! He won!

Steve2003

Thanks Hj,

Jeff which method did you use to replace your studs?

Edit: bad spelling

Steve2003

According to the tire shop they over tightened the lug nuts with a impact wrench and didn't torque them. The alignment shop did a tire rotation when they did the alignment. Two of the lug nuts were siezed on the studs and they broke off and the other eight were stripped and the lug nuts wouldn't tig...

Split topic-HJ Ok, I got my new tires today and I ran into a problem :x The shop that last did my alignment ruined all ten studs on my spacers :twisted: They had to be removed.
