TV = 2014 Ford f350 dually

[BoatDude]

My new F350 dually lariat is driving me crazy. The darn center cap on the rear aluminum wheel keeps falling off...twice now. At over 164 bucks at dealer to replace, I guess I have to leave them ugly axle covers show on my new 70k truck...yuck. I can't believe they use those cheesy little spring clips to hold on a big chrome center cap. They don't even have a spring clip for each lug nut. I'm fuming over this. Anyone else dealing with this crazy issue? Looking for a good replacement?

Hadn't had that luck with ours. Last 2 F-350's had the caps, first one had steel wheels and simulators. I suppose I've gotten lucky. I would actually rather have steel wheels and simulators on mine, but it came with the aluminums. I prefer the steels as you can put any wheel in any location. Not so on the aluminums at all, unless you remove tires.

I had a 2011 dually and now have a 2015 dually and have never had a cover come off.

They fall off at work due to too much heat we have found out. Do you have a break problem or parking brake sticking creating heat

Wish it had the steel rims also. I have 6k on it and the passenger side rear has never fell off. The left side is the culprit. No heating issues I know of. I drove 3k miles on the original and no problems...so I baffled on this. The only thing I know is to replace the short lug nuts with longer ones an try another another expensive center caps. At least it can move a little before falling off. The only other option is to replace the wheel with custom wheels. I wish they made more after market option for this style of rim.
