afternoon? its not even 11am yet?

 

ahh must be a couple hours ahead of ya, well good morning to ya then haha

 

yea thats better

 

I'm getting hungry!

 

I was thinking of doing the bearings too.

 

i wouldnt worry about doing them unless you have been abusing the truck, heavy towing, no axle fluid change, 100k+ etc

Im not gonna tell you that you arent allowed to do them, but it may not be necessary....

 

How far ahead are we than you?. Right now (for me), it's nearly 12:30

 

I believe they are fine. I've towed twice, only light loads. I have never spun the tires on my truck. I just don't want to have to go in there for another 76,xxx miles...

 

im central time zone, so its 11:30 now. it was 10:58 when i posted that about not being 11am yet

so long story short you are one hour ahead of me :o

 

i see.. gotcha... I'll be a jerk and say that lunch was good today I bet you guys are hungry. hehehe

 

Yea i totally understand. Ive pushed mine hard on the silver truck with a heavy tow, later undersized tires, and lots of tire spinning.

Red truck has undersized tires now (spins axles faster at same speeds)

 

yea im starving. But its okay i got to sleep in an extra hour more then you did

 

$380 is more than I want to spend doing that. I suppose I'll be studying Q's thread.

I've done seal replacement on worm gearboxes before at a place I used to work at, basically the same philosophy. Input shaft, pinion, bearings, seals, worm gear, output shaft. Rebuilt them as well.

 

Might as well as replace the bearings while you're in there... cause if you don't, I bet you'll hear a whining in a year or so...

 

get to sleep longer than most. being laid off for the past 6 months is great
