had first hard start in over a month... first time I parked nose down on my driveway in over a months as well.... weird.....
I'd say go for it......if it's not geting any worse. Always nice to be where you have tools, etc.

I would say chances are you are ok...but keep an ear out for any more noise. Dont want the tire falling off going down the road.....i have heard of some Fords doing that....but 44" tires were involved......sorta the same bearing design....

With what we do the only time you want a truck on 3 wheels is because of sheer torque picking one corner off the ground.

Hopefully I can join ya'll Saturday afternoon at Sedalia after the dyno day. Im going to just stay as late and as long as somebody is up....and then head back home this time. My vacation time balance has been dwindling away...
