    That’s what i found out, seems like the gasket would let it work loose. terry definitely had to have everything real clean.

    There is a gasket, but i was resealing a axle on a weekend with no gasket, al;ways heard you never really needed one, so i put some sealer on axle flange and never used a gasket again. terry

    Thats fine, was just tossing that out there. terry

    I have always used some silicone sealer on axle flange with no gasket, never had a problem. terry

    Oh yeah knock it out, and go with a stemco or other newer inside seal , then lightly pack some grease on both bearings to lube them till the bearing cavity fills with gear oil, before i put outside bearing in, i would have some gear oil in a plastic squeeze bottle and squirt it in cavity and put outside bearing in. terry

    If your putting new seals on s cams, be sure to put the one towards the slack adjuster in backwards, so when greasing it will leak past that seal and not blow the brake shoe side seal. terry

    Isn't there a part number for the seal and wear ring kit? terry

    My first dump truck in “73” was a B 421 six cylinder gas with a baby quad, drove it for one year for another guy, bought it and drove it for another year, then bought a B61 , 711 with a turbo ,triplex trans, tractor, stretched it for a dump box and put p/s on it and drove it for ten years, then bought a DM487 had a scania with automatic, pulled all that out, then put a 237 with a quad, ran that for quite a few years, then got real ambitious and done a newer cab, 285 engine with a mack 12 speed, and a whole different cutoff 4:17’s with camel backs, i could bury that 80MPH speedometer, engine would turn 2300.

    Yeah sold my Harley a couple years ago because my balance got so bad, they took my prostate out in 2018, couple years later PSA started rising, said i had it in a few lymph nodes where they didn’t want to radiate, but the hormone therapy has kept it at bay. I might have went if wasn’t for all the side effects, hope you find something decent there for yourself. terry
  13. terry
    No, the hormone therapy for prostate cancer has me so weak can’t do nothing garage wise anymore !😩.

    I believe that New Castle has bought some sand and concrete operations in and around Omaha. terry I don't know why i have a different look on my letters?

    i have seen alot of 38,000 # suspensions with out that cross torque arm, and even some 44,000 ones without it, don't know the protocol on using it. terry
  17. terry
    Can't think of a reason why you could't, you got a torque multiplier for the u bolts? I think there around 1200 foot pounds. terry
  18. terry
    What model mack did you get? terry
  19. terry
    Been alot of years since i checked one, don't remember if i put low air pressure on the oil side or water side and put it in a tube of water to check for bubbles. terry

    I will add my opinion the air operated power divider does work alot better than the auto one, have ran both for years, i had a middle ujoint between rears break and took mioddle shaft out and engaged the air power divider and drove home to repair. terry
