  1. The cast housings can be differentiated by looking at the bolts that lock the spindle in the housing. The older style have an external hex head bolt behind the brake spider flange (towards the center of the truck). The newer style have an Allen head lock bolt on the opposite side of the housing (toward the outside of the truck). The newer cast housings use a spindle that is supplied by Renault. They are sometimes in short supply domestically, but they are commonly available, our shop replaced one about a week ago. Replacing the spindle is going to take some special equipment, or you can pull the housing and have a machine shop with a lay down press push the spindle in and out for you.

  2. It needed a fuse for the transmission installed (somehow the fuse for the ZF Freedom transmission went missing between the time the customer pulled into his shop and the time he tried to pull it out), and it needed the cobbled together Euro PTO wiring setup (courtesy of Muncie Power Products) fixed. I think mostly it didn't want to go out and play in the mud anymore!

  3. Some thermostat numbers that might help.
