You can do it! Check out the link Gimpy gave you, download the T M, and get after it

 

[Barneyszoo]

Thats a big help, what I needed. Thanks!

Getting proped to haul water out to the big horn sheep in the Mojave, and the people that give the permits to drive in the preserve do take kindly to leaky axles.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Wrap the axle in depends! A wise "old man" told us about that not too long ago.

You can do it the easy way, buy the zippered boots, cut the old boots off and install the new ones, that way you don't have to pull wheel,bearings, brakes etc, Silicone the inside and outside of the zipper. done 20 min each side.
on a side note I go through deep water and replaced mine with the new silicone one peice.
lasts longer and is much more stronger

 

[Barneyszoo]

Thanks, got one of zipper type, but I have the time so I would rather put a solid one one. Also haveing a prob down loading the TMs any help? When I go to that sec. it tells me I'm logged in.

 

[800summit]

Do you have Acrobat reader installed on your machine? if not these TMs are in a PDF format.
once it opens you can save it or print what you need

 

[800summit]

one more thing, these are large files and take some time to download.

 

[Barneyszoo]

I do, but going to get my son to look at it, he gets a 46 this weekend.He'll be up from Yuma. Thanks

 

[Barneyszoo]

One more thing, can you tell me whitch TM # or group of TMs I should down load for this truck.

 

[800summit]

I do not remember, I just winged it and torqued the bearings to 100lbs then backed off 1/8th turn on the nut. There was a tech article someone did under the resources

 

[800summit]

Front axle seals and boots stepXstep was the article under resources tech article

Old "Wise Man"!
Barney, follow the link to the step x step. As far as manuals go, there are so many volumes to the 209 series its not funny. I always send new folks to the 361 series, everything is covered in 5 manuals vs some 17 in the 209 series. Once you find the manuals you want to download, right click on them and save them to your computer, they will be available to you all the time that way. The files are large and take some time. Here are the ones I'd start with. TM 9-2320-361-10 and TM 9-2320-361-20. After you digest these or as the need arises, get TM 9-2320-361-34, TM 9-2320-361-20P and TM 9-2320-361-34P. Note, manuals ending in P are parts manuals. As far as boots, I just won't touch another zipper boot. I'd rather force myself to strip the front end down and inspect rather than having the option of the quick zipper boot fix. Good luck, it's not tough at all!
