I changed an axel in a civic once and thought "thats weird normally oil runs out" popped new one in kept driving. Bout 2 months later I detect a whine....Then 2+2=84 and shit I have no oil in the transmission.
Wait what no , bevel gear case and power divider are only filled when serviced properly and all the compartments are drained , or it was removed from axle housing for whatever reason , normal fluid check is at the axle housing only , if people keep topping up bevel housing it overfills axle housing . And you will start getting alot of wheel seal failures.
I was thinking similar EXCEPT I've been seeing less and less visible hubs. Given at my Mack/Volvo/Hino/Cummins/Isuzu Dealership I'm far from the PMs and generally tearing sh*t apart on the jump so SOMEONE has generally already f'd some stuff up before it gets pushed pulled drug or otherwise into my bays lol. But I'm with ya mostly
in another life, Machinist... had a guy insist daily, that bearings needed to be full to overflowing to "keep the moisture out"... those bearings were $500 each back then, and the proper grease was $300 for an 8oz tube... one tube per tool head and poof... they lasted the 5 years until I got fired for "not working well with others" Bearings create heat, that heat expands grease and oil... that expansion can either push the seals out, or create more heat which then destroys the bearings
I'm a generator guy,but I see all kinds of funny stuff when I pass thru the motor shop while loading the truck in the morning. A big 50hp motor with the end cover off and it's packed with grease you can't see a thing. It's a motor for some pump at a municipality. Guy walks past it every day and gives it a shot of grease from the grease gun, and did that for about 14 months 😂😂😂
A video on the finer points of semi truck clutch adjusting would be great. The clutch, clutch brake and pedal free play and such. Thank, man. C.G. Juneau, Alaska
1/2 gap between throw out and brake , bottom 1/2 inch to 9/16 of pedal travel is clutch brake squeeze. If all that is correct free travel will be whatever it ends up at , different trucks oems all have different free travel measurments when clutch is right , older macks are near 2.5 inches other oems are around 1.5 inches but it comes out to whatever on the free travel
If you need it explained to you in a video because the hundreds of pages explaining the difference on google don’t make any sense to you….you probably don’t need to be driving anything with full locking diffs to start with.
That is 100% correct information. Plus I'm comment 1.
Lol
On here spreading the correct way of doing it unlike some I've come across on here. Keep up the great work.
To often people only change the oil AFTER they hear noises ...
Nice video 👍
Please do a video on, how to seal the plastic side covers properly on that Dif. Thank for your time Sir
Don't companies show drivers this anymore? First company I drove for years ago did .
ONWARD TO 100K sir!
That name tag sticker is a vibe

Not my 78 MACK 😂
How can I contact you about an ongoing issue of front uneven tire wear
I didn't know that the bevel gear housing is separate and I've been driving this dirty ol woman of the night up driveshaft hill freighted 😬

@@walkerv8530 - Thank you, Sir.
UPSIDE DOWN and BOB on the Oil
I can smell this video. 🤮
Also cool seeing you at the gas station the other day 😂
What's the process if it has camel back springs instead of air bags
Can you do a video on power divider vs diff lock

@@J.R.in_WV lol too late for that guess I'll have to figure it out
👍
I will move to whatever state your in if you hire me as an apprentice.
