No ball joints for the rear end. Are you sure they're wearing the edge on the rear, or was it wear from before those tires were rotated to the rear?

You're right. I'll have to keep an eye on the weather and get ready to stay in the garage. But I'm taking a sleeping bag this time, I'm getting too old to sleep in the cold with only a thin sheet.

I bought the truck used about 4 months ago, the tires on it had balding spots all over, I changed them out to and the BFG were used but were ok before I put them on, all 4 are wearing on the the edges.

You were correct!
Had gotten use to 4x4 disengaging after 3-5 seconds. With vacuum line spliced.... disengages almost instantly! Thanks!
