Once I get all the wheel bearings re-packed in grease, what is the re-packing interval? I usually put 10,000-15,000 miles on the vehicle per year.

I agree with Simp. I pull mine with a 5 ton and 14,000 lbs of payload regionally. Your truck will HATE IT! It has a huge amount of tongue weight. It will even very slightly squat a 5 ton at that weight.

So, hopefully in about 2 months I will send my truck in to have it professionally turned up. I am just not brave enough to do it. I have a mowing contract in Terre Haute Indiana and will drop it off at Scheid Diesel and have them do it along with changing the timing to 16 degrees and...

I put it all back together today. I "think" I put the inner seals in correctly. They seemed loose under the locking ring. I also made another mistake and put the inner race in the hub before I put the hub spacer in but since I am not using CTIS I was told it was not needed. I packed the...

Can you send pics of the plugs when you get them? I need to plug mine as well.

NO speedy sleeve but I think I will have to put one on. Does anyone know which speedy sleeve will fit?

I got the high dollar fleet anti-freeze from my fuel supplier so it really wasn't that expensive. It is specifically for HD diesels.

Does anyone know the part number for the thermostat housing gasket? I have a small but steady leak at the housing. I have included photos. Hard to tell what it is but the photos are directly behind the alternator mount. I have a heavy amount of rust in the system so I will be doing a flush...

Parts for the rebuild are in. I am going to attempt to put it all back together tomorrow. I will be packing the wheel bearings in Lucas Red N Tacky grease. Any better grease for the wheel bearings? For all of my pin and bushings, I use a super heavy 5% moly grease that I get from my local...

Where?

I downloaded the Cummins engine manual. I use mine A LOT. It is now basically a regional haul truck pulling my tractor everywhere for mowing. The manual states 10,000 miles or 500 hours. If you are not using your truck that much it has a graph to show you when to change it. I would attach...

Yeah.....at least I don't have to buy a whole axle!

It was the actual metal of the bearings that welded to the housing. Dremel tool took it off"mostly". It is now smooth all the way around. You can feel slight imperfections in it, I did it by had so it is not machined perfectly but it is close and smooth.

I got the axle housing cleaned up fairly nicely with a Dremel. Not perfect but it is smooth all the way around and "should" be a nice surface for the new seal. I have never seen a bearing that bad. Outer bearing had oil only on it. No grease. I will check the differential oil once bearings and...

Well, pulled the hub Monday, brake shoes looked great, got excited that perhaps it wouldn't be too bad once I pulled the hub....pulled the hub today, outer bearing and seal looked good, got the hub off and the inner bearing literally fell apart into pieces. The bearing metal has welded itself...

I managed to get it back. Thanks for all the help. I did find out that my brakes have been dragging on that wheel so I probably fried the hub seals. I have new parts on order including new shoes, seals, and spring brake can bladder. The hub was hot, but not melt your skin off hot. It was...

CTIS has been removed. It seems to be dripping from where the CTIS went into the axle. It is not leaking from the outer seal.

Thank you very much. Topping off gear oil now.

Hey guys, need a lifeline thrown my way. Heading back home from Chicago and stopped at a truck stop for coffee. I got out if the M925A2 and saw my middle drivers side tire was wet.......soaked in gear oil. I am 121 miles out from home. Any suggestions? What is the issue and what parts will I...
