Seals are designed to provide high quality oil and grease sealing. Properly functioning seals offer improved performance for better sealing at different temperatures and harsh environments. Don’t let worn out or deformed seals allow contaminants to get in or lubricant to leak out.
Wheel studs are threaded fasteners that hold the wheels in place in your truck. Wheel studs that are bent or broken are a safety hazard and you should immediately replace them with quality ones.
Wheel nut, also called a lug nut, is a nut that is used to fasten a wheel to a hub. Worn out nuts can cause wheel to become loose increasing the risk of your truck rollover.

What is the difference between four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive?
Four-Wheel-Drive (4WD) provides safe and confident travel on a variety of surfaces using a clutch or full-time center differential that allows the front and rear wheels to rotate at different speeds. It’s the go-to system for when you drive on a snowy road or when it’s dry and hot out.
Full-time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is just like full-time 4WD in that it is operable on all surfaces, including pavement, at all times. The only difference between full-time AWD and full-time 4WD vehicles is that not all AWD vehicles are equipped with a ”4-low” setting. So, AWD vehicles may not be as capable off-road as full-time 4WD vehicles, but they are ideal for on-road use.
What is part-time four-wheel drive?
Part-time 4WD operates as a basic two-wheel drive vehicle with the exception of the full-time system, part-time 4WD does not have a center differential to allow the front and rear wheels to rotate at different speeds. Instead, the front and rear wheels are locked together, making it perfect for off-road trips and challenging road conditions. For everyday driving or when on dry pavement, it is recommended that drivers operate the vehicle in its two-wheel-drive mode for optimum performance. Excessive use of part-time 4WD could lead to driveline noise, binding and damage or premature failure of parts.
What is full-time four-wheel drive?
Full-time 4WD is in four-wheel drive all the time, and is designed for safe and confident travel on all surfaces. Full-time 4WD systems use a clutch or a center differential to allow the front and rear wheels to turn at different speeds. From snow to dry pavement, expect the best from this system.
Why shouldn't you use part-time four-wheel drive on dry pavement?
When you use part-time 4WD the front and rear axles are locked together and the front and rear wheels turn at the same speed. When you turn the wheels or drive on dry surfaces the wheels will bind (crow hop) and you will get driveline noise, usually a bang or shudder. Both of these are bad and will cause many components to fail prematurely. Bottom line, don’t use part-time four-wheel drive on dry pavement if you want to prevent these problems.
What is "crow hop"?
Crow hop is when you are in a turn the front & rear axles travel in separate paths but are locked together as the vehicle turns. The axles then slip the tires to allow them to travel on different paths.
