I got home yesterday, and with 2 days on the road, gave me quite a bit of time to think, do some research and call around. Every shop I talked...
I called the Freightliner dealership and found that the original Tandems were 37k diffs with 3.73 gearing. I didn't ask the brand of the diff....
I talked with the gear shop at Vreins in SLC and they confirmed it is a standard 46k differential and much more info from the tag on the diff....
I'm leaning towards just getting a replacement axle instead of fixing something this old. I'm in rural southern Utah and have a few friends with...
I think I would have to disagree on the date. The 1 in the first position of the date doesn't look anything like what you see as 13 on the year....
If I'm reading that tag right....... This axle is from 1973????? Is that what everyone else is seeing also?
I did find the riveted tag but not sure if it is fully legible. Also took 4 more photos but they don't seem to want to transfer so I can share...
Hello guys. I have a 1999 FLD120 and I've been trying to determine the source of a nasty vibration I have, but I'm pretty sure I found it. A...
Good morning guys! I'm looking at a 2012 Cascadia just for my personal use and just looking at some honest opinions. Detroit DD13 with 886,xxx...
No worries, I forgive you. Thank you for the valuable information. Have a great day. :)
Not as short as your temper and definitely not as fragile as your ego. I appreciate all the advice but to start throwing insults and names is...

But that was your point in your comments. I appreciate any help I can get on this forum but yet, there always seems to be a dick face that takes...
Considering I am going off what I am being told in this forum, Why am I being questioned If I know what I'm working on? Wasn't that my original...
I was honestly looking for help considering I haven't opened them up yet. I honestly didn't know if they were LSTO, Grease, Oil or sealed. I've...
I can see why they fail so quickly. When the bearings go out, the rest of it is made from aluminum. Right now, I'm not seeing any advantage of...
But which would be more cost effective? A used axle with oil hubs for $750 or new sealed hubs at $1500 each? That would be the question I will...
So, almost makes me think a few things..... 1. If I have problems with these hubs, how hard will it be to find replacements? 2. If I have problems...
That is the cap I have on my truck steer axle. Sealed makes sense, especially if you watch the video I shared. When they pull that cap off, it's...
That was the next step when I had a spare minute. haha But thankfully they sell smaller quantities. That 5 gallon bucket would probably leave my...
