Shortdawg67 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 this is the front of the 2nd rear end. I recently had the truck all around power washed yesterday and seen this for my post trip after 200 miles today.. can any of you fellas indicate what I may need here???

Popular Post Joey Mack Posted November 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2022 Looks like the input housing is loose. The bolts are 16mm or 5/8 12 point.. you can pull it out as a unit, clean the steel shims, Be careful, they will cut you... Then lightly apply Mack Gray RTV to the shims and re- install it.. I believe the bolt torque is 175 lbft.. when you handle the shims, pay attention to the oil gallery holes in the shims.. make sure you don't cover the holes, by accidently rotating a shim in correctly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortdawg67 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Should I put a new gasket as well on there?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 there is no gasket, just shims and rtv... the smaller seal housing directly behind the yoke may have a gasket or o-ring, but if it is not leaking, then there is no need to remove the yoke... dont go heavy with rtv, you dont want to change the bearing preload.. jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 And if it’s that loose you most likely already have changed the preload. So I’d advise fixing it before driving it again. The one in front would be a seal. It’s not worth the hassle trying to get that yoke off right now. I say that because it’s always a bitch when I take one off.

Onyx610 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 The o ring on the bevel gear compartment may be leaking. You can change that pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Just make sure you find out if the cover is plastic or metal before you call. They will ask you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortdawg67 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 What I’m wondering is, since the shop that replaced my front rear end; took that whole section apart and put it back together. This is Now the 2nd back half rear end, but the FRONT of the 2nd back half rear end is the picture I posted… Did they have to mess with that section that I’m now having to do maintenance to??? (If you get what I’m saying 🥲) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx610 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Was usually clean before you ever took it to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Wonder if the flange is cracked and not just loose. That’s a bad leak…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortdawg67 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 They only cleaned there area that they had to repair which was that front rear end. Now I am having an issue with this 2nd rear end 🤦🏻♂️ looks like I’ll be back at the shop tomorrow morning and hopefully some simple fixes and not a crack as you said @Onyx610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 You’re having a tough time with this truck. I feel for you bud. Are these the same guys that did your engine rebuild? Don’t worry you will get it all straightened and be good to go for a while. Big trucks big bucks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortdawg67 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 I really am bro. It’s a project truck for real. No, I have a separate individual mechanic for the engine rebuild. Then I go to a shop for light maintenance that the company I owner operate to; built.. they’re convenient for accepting payments out of my statements. But as you all have witness, gave me a new rear end lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Onyx610 Posted November 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2022 Doesn’t just happen to you so don’t beat your self up too much. Let us know how you make out. Got my fingers crossed it’s something dumb like Joey said. Same goes with the oil pressure. That has to be something minor as well. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
