so i went on a drive not too long maybe 30-35 miles from my house. on my way back i was stuck in stop and go traffic. its super hot today but i decided to feel my hubs see how warm they were. they got pretty hot! i spun the front driveshaft and it spun freely, but are the axles also supposed to spin with it in 2H? i took the hub off and the grease smelled fine not burned or anything but i think my rotars may be a little tight. any suggestions... i dont want to ruin anything i cant afford it!

thanks david

 

or could it be my t-case? i think the adjustment might be off a little maybe keeping it in 4H. it slipped out the other going maybe 35-40ish started making the usual grinding annoying sounds. how do i adjust the linkage?

 

Generally they get hot from using the brakes. Try letting it cool, then driving for a few miles on the highway without using the brakes, and see how hot they are.

 

alright thats what i thought. i just didnt think they would get that hot using the brakes at that low of a speed maybe around 30 ish. but that is a lot of weight to stop going that fast! i really appreciate the quick reply

 

yes, your front wheels will turn while in 2h. as long as the grease was fine then it was not to hot for it.
