    Yeah. That wheel seal was supposedly addressed. But I will redo it when I do the brakes.

    That's pretty neat what does the truck itself look like?

    Ummm. Radiator is $2250. Holy snot. Its a bolt together so we'll be handing this at the local radiator shop. Dang.

    Also bought a battery box that sits inside the frame rails today. $125 and $75 for install.it sits flush with the catwalk. Like under it.

    It wouldn't be a bad idea to clean the vents on the drive axles. Ive seen new seals leak oil due to a clogged vent.

    That sounds like Freightliner pricing. Did you call the aftermarket guys like Detroit?

    .40cal, yes. And actually is the tank gasket leaking and the old timer doing the work wants me to re-core it with a 4 flu and thats $500 so im hoping its good as is. We shall see. Maybe I'll take his advise, he is an old timer after all.


    Additionally, the accessory drive Is not bad and leaking, its the crankshaft seal up front. But got to pull the radiator for that. Dang that guy loves a 4 flu radiator. Btw, the old timer speaks highly of my truck. Good marketing or really likes it? Your call.


    He's doing the front drive output shaft seal, the wheel seal and the brakes on the back drive and changing my oil too.

    I had a 91 FLB condo for my first truck. It had the mixed sized 24.5 just like you do as well. It made a lot of money and I sold it for the same price I paid for it a year later when I upgraded. Good luck and just record the radiator.
