Cab creak

jdgleason · Jul 19, 2013

Well, yanked a bolt and for now it seems like it's gone. Guess ill wait til tomorrow to decide whether its actually fixed or not.

Ya so that didn't fix it either.

BUT thankfully my buddy Justin offered to check it out! A second set of eyes noticed that the very corner of the bracket for my airdog had been contacting the cab. So, I yanked the ***ker off and ground the top off of both sides of the bracket and put it back on. Again, so far so good.

Thanks again Justin!

It is but being rated that high in rev I would think it would do more than that in forward.

Impacts always have more torque in reverse than forwards. Otherwise how would you take your bolts off if u installed em using max psi on the gun?

Same exact thing happened to mine on the first build. Drove me crazy till I found it.

I'm just glad it's fixed lol. You didn't say airdog!

I said metal or tin rubbing the cab. Close enough, Griswald

I usually use the German torque spec, gudntight. After my truck got studded it had the same creak you're talking about, removed the cab bolts and greased the bushings like mentioned above. Hasn't made a noise since!

THE GOTTTTDAMN GERMANS GOT NUTHIN TO DO WITH IT!
