I just don't get it. You'd think if one was crooked the other would be unless the axle is bent.

Only thing I was able to guess is bent axle shaft bent axle housing or the wheel is some how bent when u roll it does it lean the other way? Of stays leaned the same?

Nope it's always bent the same way. And you wouldn't think I'd get another bent one when I changed it.

I was wondering if Winter lowers your fuel economy?
The past couple tanks I've been getting 14 mpg.
And I have stock tires.

4wd will lower the fuel economy and if the air is to cold its gonna make it denser making the truck get more air which can lead to the truck needing more fuel. So more power but more fuel consumption

Didn't know where ur at so I didn't know if u got snow like we did here. But cold air can use more fuel depends on how cold it is I notice anything under 25 things change with my truck

We have a lot of snow in Wisconsin but I don't really need 4x4 that often. Is the fan supposed to sound like a semi in the morning?
