Turning drums

[Follow Ups] [Post Followup] [Dodge Power Wagon Forum]

Posted by Jim Chance on Sunday, December 19, 2004 at 11:52AM :

The common wisdom is that FFPW drums should only be turned with the hubs. I am wondering why. The hubs seem to be machined square. I could see a problem if there is dirt between the drum and hub, or if the drum is distorted under the hold down screws.

Any insight or personal experience?

ALWAYS turn your drum on its very own hub. Do not mix them. - Gordon Maney 7:22PM 12/19/2004

Shouldn't be any problem, most drums CAN't be on hubs - chriscase 12:56PM 12/19/2004
