My M-Hub is loose.
I was washing my truck and I noticed that my right manual hub is sorta loose, I can slightly push it in and pull it out. The left one doesn't do this. Could something be broken? I don't have a jack and stands or I would take the wheel off and try and open it up. anybody got any ideas?

the only thing you can do is jack it up, pull the wheel off and check it out. your truck comes with a jack. I've have one fall off on me before, there not built the strongest. Check that clips are still holding it on and not broken (like the pic).
Then lock the hub and turn the axle shaft and make sure its locking correctly, and un locking.

Well I went to my buddys house today, cause he offered to jack the truck up and help me out with this. I found out that one of the clips broke off, which caused it to be loose.
It became loose after I took it to my local mechanic(about 2-3 weeks ago). He had to of done it b/c they were fixing the bearing on the right wheel. So I called him up today, to tell him what was wrong. I'm going to take it to him tom. to see if maybe he'll pay for another one.

once I got the truck in the air it was super easy to take it off. I really don't know how they broke it. they must have been in a rush or something. And they had to of known they broke it. and that it was loose when they put it back on. I hope they'll give me the money to get another one.
