*****UPDATE***** I broke the passenger side down again.... and what did I find????? Nothing. Apparently I was right, when we bled the brakes we didnt have silcone around the opening for the brake line. So some brake fluid, and brake clean went down in the hole and made its way to the...

On the drivers side there is both gear oil and the red grease oil. on two seperate places. On the passenger side, when I tighten those 4 bolts, fresh gear oil (not red) is leaking behind the boot on the bottom. So this is my plan, Im gonna break both sides down and replace the oil seal with a...

As you stated the seal did come from the factory with the coating on it. I didnt even think of adding the RTV... Whats weird is when I remove one or two of the bolts no oil comes out.:? Its like this on both sides. The bolt threads seem to have oil residue on them. On one side it seems to be...

You have GOT to be kidding me....I did not use RTV or Silicone..... aua The seal is installed correctly right? (As I described in my previous post)

What is the milage on the truck? 5,700 Is it gear oil for sure? Yes 90% sure You can leak gear oil in the boot area even with a new seal, i have seen many trucks with wore out spindle bushings allow the axle shaft to fall down and leak. - Is there any signs that would point to this?

Did you pull the front axle? Yes U-joint shaft and change the inner seal? Yes Did you install the inner seal with the lip facing inward??? Front Axle Shaft Oil Seal For M35 Series, 7521789 / 8738032 If you look at that picture, the side that is on the table is facing the pumpkin. Was...

Hey Steve, Thanks for trying to help me! I have replaced the the Front Axle Shaft Oil Seal and the the Axle shaft retainer. along with a new boot. I did this on both sides. I also replaced the inner O ring and the Outter O ring. This is where Im seeing the oil.

I’m about to lose it.... Before I do, I will explain the issue. I bought the truck about 2 months ago. I’m happy as can be, it’s a great truck. So one day I noticed the passenger side was slinging grease oil mixture. After reading I see that I need to get in there and replace the seals. OK...

Mine was the same.

All, What type of grease do you all recomend for the front end. I have replaced the wheel seals and bearings on my front axel. Also, how much grease should I pack in the universal joint on the front axel. And then how much should I put in the houseing that surrounds the UV Joint. I dont...

Thank you VERY much!!! This is great Info! Only question I have and and I think I know the answer... The 1972 date is I'm assuming the date of the A2 they used for the conversion?

Thank you VERY much for this informational post! So, it sounds like my air dryer is just fine. I will check the valve on the steering and see if it is leaking. If not, then I will start tracing the lines. Im currenly on my working shift and wont be able to check any of this out for at least 30...

Yes sir I have. Very useful stuff! However, I like asking the questions here because obviously there is more feedback from a community and you all can most likely identify if it is a problem or not. I do understand that they are air over hydraulic, and to use the soap and water in a spray...

It's weird cause when Im driving it stays between 105PSI-125PSI?

Yea, I'm gonna be doing the spray bottle thing. But I didn't know if that air dryer was working like it was suppose to.

Another day another question :-P So the more I drive my new M35A3 the more I would Like to know. So today I was looking over the air brake system and noted a few items. First I noticed that I would turn the truck off at 120PSI and I would still hear air leaking near the dryer (at least I...
