Good day, I have a 2007 peterbilt 379 that needs the steer axle wheel bearings replaced. Not sure how you guys fare in other states, but calling Rush in Denver is a PIA they refuse to give part numbers. Which wheel bearings and races are you guys using? Please include part #

Call ALL STATES PETERBILT in St Paul,MN. They should help with part numbers, way better than RUSH.
-
Will do, thanks!
-
So, you want part #'s but don't want to buy the part from them? Otherwise, why would you be asking them for the #. Peterbilt has an online parts counter you can register for.

I need part numbers to get the correct parts elsewhere, places that don’t charge nearly as much as peterbilt and often times for the exact same part. Without the part number to cross reference I’m just buying parts and hoping they are correct. It took me and the guys at fleet pride over an hour and 2 purchases and returns just to get the correct shocks for the truck. So again, yes I call to get the part number so that I can get the correct parts for my truck from a different supplier.Last Call Thanks this.

"to get the correct parts elsewhere". When you ask for a part # they know this. Why would they spend the time looking something up for someone who is not going to buy from them? They are a business just like you. That was my point.Roger McG, pushbroom, W923 and 1 other person Thank this.

Competition.
Let’s reverse this.
How much are you quoting this make believe load for? 2200.
another calls knowing your bid so they bid 2150.
you’ve shown your cards instead of playing them close to your vest
But you can try a parts store that gets truck parts, bumper to bumper does truck parts here. -
Colorado brake right down the road from Rush usually has all that stuff at a good price, I don't know if they can look up the part numbers though.
-
Yeah I never understood why I should be expected to tell someone how to do things or what parts to use when they clearly had no intention of using my services.
I don’t see why you can’t take it apart and then get bearings and seal based on the numbers that are stamped in them.
Just FYI John Deere is a good source of high quality bearings and usually very competitive in price for similar quality.pushbroom Thanks this. -
For the first part, you are under no obligation to
For the second, why is it so darned hard for any manufacturer to just give access to parts listings instead of only grudgingly ever telling the people that own things what parts are in it?
The answer is obviously that they want to force you to rely on THEM, not do it yourself.
But Whose bloody vehicle is it? Mine? Or the dealer/whoever pays exhorbitant sums for dealership access to "proprietary" info.
Yes it can be found by taking it apart, but from the time its taken apart, youre on a clock to get parts in and back together. Why is it a bad idea to try and have everything for the job ready when you start it rather than doing your parts runs in the middle of the job?
