So yesterday morning as I was inspecting the truck before we went to the show, I noticed something looked odd on the driver side wheel. Well I take a closer look and the freakin center cap was gone! It's just an ugly looking hole in the middle of the wheel lol so I found one on eBay, bidding on it now and hoping to get it.

Here's what it looks like

And here's what it's supposed to look like

Guessing it fell off going down the turnpike at 80...

Thanks Morgan

So I walk out at lunch and look and the rear passenger side cap is gone now. WTF! Why do they keep falling off??

How? I haven't touched them. All I've done different was driving it down the turnpike this weekend. But they shouldn't do that

Maybe you should slow down a bit...

I'll have to measure mine later but looking at the picture, they look like the same ones. I'll let you know here in a little while. Thanks

I would go around and make sure they are nice and tight if you've lost two already.

They spin around all the time and are loose, when I get some new ones I'm using gorrila glue on them lol

Just use a very small bead of clear silicone so that you can remove them if necessary.

Don't use anything too strong, they have to remove those when they balance your tires. Maybe a couple tiny dabs of silicone would do the trick.

If they will fit your truck, send me your address and I'll mail all 3 of them to you.

Got the center caps all back on! Put a little bit of silicone on the back of them to hold them in place. Thanks again Morgan!
