CHECK YOUR SHACKLES!!!!!

I was just doing some routine maintenance and checked the nuts on my recent wet bolt install. We took one trip for a total of 320 miles since we installed them. A few of the bolts were loose. When I installed them, I put the zerts toward the inside and the knurls didn't seat all the way into the shackles. They seated all the way on the trip and the nuts were loose. Keep checking all your wet bolts until they seat themselves and then keep checking them on a routine schedule.
