There's bearings...I didn't know what truck you have so just search in there.

Left Hub gets hot in 4x4

My left hub is fine in two wheel drive, but as soon as put it in 4 wheel drive it gets very hot, very fast. Could it be the bearings or the hub assembly, the assembly is difficult to move.

Thanks

blazinloud is an unknown quantity at this point

not that im against the grabbers, another popular option is the bfg a/t ta ko. they have a built in rim protector which i thought was kinda cool. its just a raised rubber lip where the tire meets the rim.
