Lost Hubcap

I took Valkyriebush's suggestion and called the Freightliner parts place here in Austin and for less than $10.00 got a brand new hubcap, same size and everything. It installed with a couple good slaps so I don't expect it to go off on its own.
Thanks all for your input.

debandi,
Just wondering, do your old ones, have the "Freightliner" decal in the middle of them? And if so, does your new one also have that same exact Freightliner decal/emblem?

I needed to purchase a new rear simulator and it costs me about $270.00 but it was an EXACT fit. Here's where you can find the wheel covers;

We've lost a front center hubcap and need replacement. We have a Freightliner chassis on our 2000 Holiday Rambler with 22.5inch wheels. Any idea's on where to start our search? Thanks

debandi,
Well, the answer is very simple. Since you have a Freightliner chassis, give any Freightliner service center a call, have the last 6 of your VIN with you, they will ask for them, they will then tell you EXACTLY what was on your coach as it left the manufacturer. That will include any and all "hub caps" too.

Ours came with a "Freightliner" emblem (black plastic) in the center of it. Well, no truck stop EVER that I've seen, has that same exact cap. So, I ordered it from the Freightliner service center. Had it in my hot little hand in about 24 hours, a total of about $30.00 for the right front.

Now, a little tip here. Many of those domed front hub cabs come with little metal tabs on them that are the mechanism for retaining them onto the wheel. The tabs can get weak. And, even the new ones, on the new cap, were not holding it on that secure. So, I removed it, "tweaked" the tabs so they had a tighter purchase on the wheel and, all has been well since.

Front ones are usually different from rear. Lose the other front one or make it a shiny object for wall decoration then go to the nearest truck stop and buy a couple of the "moon" hubcaps that fit 22.5. Take the old one with you cause the inside pressure "tangs" are sometimes different. I bought a couple of extras in case of loss or damage. They were fairly cheap. ($3 or $ bucks?)


I tried to find a monaco replacement 3 years ago. Couldn't.

How big is it? I bought a couple for my 03 coachmen a few years back and still have one. I don't have coachmen anymore so you are welcome to it if it works for you.

Happen to me on my rear hub while in Georgetown TX. Ordered it from the Freightliner Place in Round Rock Texas/Austin. Fair price.
