Did you see any bearing wear or damage?
-
is that the part closer to the out shaft in comparison to the inter axle diff?
-
the helical side gear looked good btw
-
I believe some parts might not have needed to be replaced but they said it was cheaper to buy the kit, instead of buying individual. i will need to go back up to inspect the bearings
-
heres the 19 hour bill (first four lines). they will give me the 15 hr bill when i come back up there

I'm just thinking if it doesn't really need bearings and it shouldn't at 250,000 why spend a thousand dollars on them and the labor to replace them, it's kind of pointless. Plus the fact that if your not replacing the bearings you don't need to pull it for the repair. Or is it already pulled out? -
i will need to check on that bender. but according to the bill its just for collar and shaft work right? nothing about bearing replacement right?
-
You can cut the 5.3 hours labor if you don't pull it to replace bearings.
You can cut the 1.0 hours for cleaning housing.
You can cut the 10 hour PD repair time in half if you don't pull it to replace bearings.
They show 2.8 hours for thru shaft replacement then show an additional hour for shaft repair?
It's an 8 hour job to repair the thru shaft and interaxle differential and they're expanding it into a total rebuild. -
just got through with the dana website the rep sent me. they actually give me the standard hours for the fix and yes its somewhere around 8 hours. i will even give 2 more hours as a buffer. going to check on the bearings now. i will have to talk to the guys at the desk in the morning if it turns out the bearings are good. thanks bender.
bender Thanks this.
