I forgot to say, the outer axle nuts gets put on with a large breaker bar as tight as you can get it. I think it is about 550 lbft.

if you are asking about bearing clearence, what we always did was.... preload the bearing at 200 lbft, then back it off, and set it at 50 lbft. to engage the lock ring on the dowel will sometimes require you to turn the inner nut a little. you can flip the ring over to see which hole is closest with out disturbing the final torque too much. I always choose to back the nut off a small amount instead of going too tight. does this post make sense?

here is the tool. then you have to buy the correct installer head for the wear ring. It is designed to slide snuggly over the spindle , while keeping the wear ring straight and it doesnt mash the end of the wear ring too. the tool numbers are on the stemco seal box. Im not trying to make this a big deal, just showing you what is out there for proper tools.

Yes if it doesnt have a flange. When you install the wear ring, be sure to put a light bead of RTV on the leading edge so that it spreads the RTV as you drift the wear ring on. It stops when flush with the spindle. Then wipe off the excess RTV once its seated. The fancy tool does a perfect installation.

the wear ring has a 4 digit part number on the back side. I will lead you to the correct Stemco seal kit. The wear ring is installed with a special tool. I suggest looking at the spindle to make sure there is not a groove worn into it. If no groove is present, you can cross reference the seal you have to a voyager series that doesnt require a special tool to install, just be cautious. I see the blue seal is removed. you can look inside the seal for its 4 digit part number as well. Of course if you are like me, i always end up putting the prybar right on the seal number.. 🫣

Thanks guys.. 😊

Thanks Mech.. Im at work, doing a little supa truckin'

Same same... Bob..

🍻 O.D..... I think this is what you want..

Yep, a sweet boat for sure.. todays event waa small, but all the smiles were BIG!! I may just volunteer next year..

So we had our Touch a Truck event today. It was a beautiful day, and lots of familie's came out to see our toys. It was nice to see the kids faces when they were allowed to sit in the crane.

M-Drive is my guess.. Unless he has an Allison.

Awesome !! Hell, you could sell the Isuzu for more then that to a Mexican buyer. They love those trucks...

Yes to all. Terry. But my shop gets too hot. I put a 7' ceiling fan in last year, that helped. As far as Square Bodies. We had 3. But Terri, (my terri) just sold her 81 C-10 at a classic car dealership. It is heading to Texas.

Did you lift the bunk to access the latches? Is it a pull cable behind the seat?

I dont do much driving, but im a goto guy when the regular guys are busy..

131K dollars or miles??

Well the City bought me a new truck. ... Just kidding. They replaced the slow A$$ Mack ASET underpowered truck, with this new Freight shaker. It's got a big Cummins and an Eaton 10 spd. Hendrickson Spring ride. Locking axles and diffs. That crane had a good smooth ride. I didnt go far, just across town. We are having a public event tomorrow called, ''Touch a Truck'' it's for kids to come and see all the cool trucks and equipment we have. They get to climb in them and blow air horns and such. I will try to post pictures.. When I got in the truck it only 126 miles on it..

Yes Paul. It is powerd by a Factory installed 454 big block. Not too many of them around..

Yes Brocky!! Thats what they say in Maine... Exactly!

Freighttrain... I just went off a bit in youre thread. I couldnt help myself. We good, ?? 🍻

I purchased a truck that was her Daddy's truck. The engine got hurt during a race with a motorcycle. Her Brother who was the owner at that time was the driver.. Well i negotiated a deal. The truck is mine.. She cant wait for me to diagnose the engine, and do whatever it takes to put Daddy's truck on the road ! She will also be part of the engine repair or build, whatever it needs.. She has helped me build many engines in the last 10 years.. so thats the truck, obviously,, and my Lady putting pushrods in a 673 and the head studs and nuts while im off to the side doing other things, she also used to rebuild bundle oil coolers for me and help me put cam bearings in. Now the cam bearing job,,, she knows how to help me aim the oil holes with my aiming tool. She will tell me which way to rotate the bearing to get it lined up. Theres more, but i will stop here.

Of course, the interweb is full of B.S. But... I beleive he is not a natural born American, and a Muslim...

Well... I have read that when Barry was taken to Indonesia after his birth in Kenya, of a Kenyan family, he was raised in a Muslim School in Indonesia. Elementary school age as it would be here in the U.S.of A. ...

To be fair to my Boss.. she does get on me at times with my purchases,,, But,, when it comes to My Homemade C-30 that most would have scraped, and My '48 Int. She doesnt fuss too much. She even told me I need to put tires on 3 of my trucks because I keep plugging the leaks or squirting tire seal in them... So.. I guess I have a keeper too... Smaller money but the principal is the same...
