Little project today. Didn't take long. You can see how the old seals was completely cracked and worn.

 

Do you know if theres only 1 pinion seal or is there more? Notice all that caked on grease? That's on the 1st drive axle... WOndering if that's just from dripping off the 5th wheel? Second drive axle is clean and I believe the 2nd is where the pinion is right or wrong?

 

There is a seal behind each one of the yokes where they bolt to the rear ends, and one behind the yoke on back of the transmission.

Looks like that one is leaking, or has leaked in the past. Before I tore into it or had someone replace it I would wash that up good and get all the dirt/grit off there. Then you can watch it and see if it is still leaking, or where it is coming from.

 

All of them are called pinion seals or they use different names?

 

I'm far from a mechanic, but I concur. And the way the dirt has got on it, I'd definitely say it is or has leaked and that isn't grease from the 5th wheel for sure.

 

Haven't idled in like the last month. i did 2 forced regens and its going back to normal so not sure what's really going on.

 

Looking for some gauges for my 680. I was gonna just have th ed navplus installed for those gauges but they want $2800. Anyone know of digital gauges that are just a plug n play?

 

I pay $45 a month for Hulu and it replaced my direct TV. Live TV and everything. Best deal I've ever done for tv.

I'd post this on Rawze's site and see what they say. Them guys really know these Cummins engines. I know short runs don't hurt these motors.

 

anyone in the group have a gen2 dynasys apu? if so, what are the parameters in the picture i attached refer to? every once in awhile the apu will just randomly shut down. today is one of those days the apu has decided to act up.
