Gonna try another wheel stud...hope it's the one that will work.

Transmission shop never tore down my T case. I called today and they were like..."what T case?". They're working on it now. Fvck.

I'd think it'd be easy enough to find the right wheel stud. What's been the catch?

Honestly, it isn't.

Knurl diameter/ knurl - shoulder length and under head length are critical and unusual in my situation. I'm crossing a 25 year newer diff into a '79 truck. Dorman is my best resource, and if I have to drill out the stud holes to 5/8ths in order to get long enough 1/2x20 studs....that's the next plan. I can't have different lug nuts front to back and expect to rotate the tires over time and not ruin the wheels in the process.

Doing the best job possible usually isn't the easiest path to take.

Anyone suggest you go to a junkies to browse for another rear 3/4 T ? axle off a ford.. Knock out a few studs then match them up at local auto parts store.

Also, everyone stop talking to me. I've got a ton of work to do that should have been done three hours ago.

Carrier?

Because if Sprint, unpossible to use Google VM with a Sprint phone. You're stuck with Sprint VM. They suck earthworms.

Yes Sprint. I was fine with Sprint's voice mail for the last decade. I don't care what it is, I just need voice mail. Right now I have people leaving me voicemails and my phone isn't telling me about it so I have no idea.
