So anyone dealt with this before? The steering wheel has a ton of play side to side and up and down. i am talking truck off, and just in the steering wheel itself. is this in the column, or the steering wheel nut need tightenend? it feels like the wheel and column is going to fall in my lap. This happened while i was trailing for a new hunting spot. i think it may have to do something with jumping in and out of the truck with my hand on the wheel, and weight on the wheel when hitting hard bumps. Please let me know guys. Chris

 

Before you do anything silly like drive it you should read the My Truck Kind of Broke.....and i almost died thread.

 

thanks for the great reply...and at the same time pointing out your ignorance, darwin called. He wants to know where to send the award to.

 

Probably just a loose nut behind the wheel.

 

so the guy gives you some advise that could possibly save your live and you insult him? he was just getting the point across that if something feels wierd or not normal about your truck GET IT FIXED before something happens, even though he didnt have a solution he was just trying to tell you to get it fixed first

 

 

...wait. I gotta subscribe to this thread...I have a feleling it's gonne be A-W-E-S-O-M-E when I get back next week.

 

 

Advise....the guy didn't even have enough common sense to not drive his own vehicle. What kind of good advise could he possibly have to offer. instead he only pointed out his own stupidity.

point understood.

And, I didnt drive my truck after that day. I put a used column in it. The column was bad internally at the tilt U-joint.

 

That, or the steering monitor is bad.

 

um, I wasn't the guy that drove with one lugnut. I just pointed you to the post so you wouldn't do something stupid like he did.
After reading your posts I can see it was a wasted effort.

 

don't call me stupid cause im not!!! haha im jus not very smart when it comes to car stuff!

 

heh, I didn't call you stupid. It's just what you did was stupid. There's a difference....really.
I do stupid stuff too. Funny thing is it sometimes seems like such a good idea at the time.

 

well that thread he posted wasnt him....he was showing you an example of what can happen if you drive your truck even when you know something isnt right
