    Dice1 when are you gonna have your rear ends disassembled and inspected? After how many miles or months of service?

    If you replace a seal take a picture of your wheel bearings and let us see how they holding up after how many miles.

    Wonder if these coated bearing would work on a grease packed hub or they only for oil filled hubs?

    Since mine was the first, Microblue has offered to pay to do this and now that I have around 25K on the wheel bearings and 14K on the rear ends, we will probably do this around the first of October. I am very busy now and fighting a leaking CAC that I have a heavy duty Vistapro CAC coming to replace mine. Vistapro is suppose to be a USA made copy of the Duralite CAC that is made in Canada.

    You can set that under your options on this site too. I believe its called "Notification"

    The default setting seems to be "No Email Notification"

    Don't understand why to hate on something that hasn't been proven that it works or not yet. Let's wait till October and see what it looks like with how much mileage.

    Not a bad thing to stir up the talk in the thread keeps it interesting just keep it on subject.
