I suspect this is cause by tandems on these trucks -and all military trucks
I am familiar with -- pulling all the time, compare to commercial over the
road truck tractors with tandems that have the ability to put one set in
"neutral" when we turn there is nothing to compensate for different radius
that the from and rear tandems travel, and this is made up with wheel slip
and shifting axles. I am familiar with deuce that has been doing this for
several years and maybe like you say

 "Runner'till the wheels fall off, "

Jonathon and list

I took a look at the tandem setup a little closer
today and have found nothing wrong with the torque
rods or other components. Put a wrench on various
bolts to check for tightness and they were all good.
So, I'll just accept the noise as normal. Runner'
till the wheels fall off, right?

Thanks,

Marc
