    When you replace that front bearing, remember there's one on the other side too. Then, there's four more behind as well. If one's gone, the others can't be that far behind.

      Always something that I had learned when trying to be educated as mechanic. The same for something that will effect the safety or the steering angles. I will rather replace both sides of the same axel. It might cost more, but better safe then sorry

      I am not sure how this truck is setup, but I had a truck that bearings at the wheel hub and then another set further back in the axle tube. They all needed to be replaced at the same time.

      Have you guys ever come to think of the fact that not all of these trucks will be exactly the same? That other people may have replaced the bearings with either sealed or non-sealed versions? It's not like these are fresh from the factory floor. Just because it's the same truck doesn't mean it's exactly the same.

    As fellow M923A1 owner I can tell you that the seal and inner/outer wheel bearings for one hub will run you about $250.
    Taking these steel soldiers fording (i.e. driving in a pond) pretty much requires a complete tear-down and rebuilding of all the hubs and axles. You probably have a bunch of water sitting in your axles and differentials. Would be smart if you, at the very least, drained and refilled the pumpkins.

      @0xsergy Před 3 lety +3

      @@jesumachorro they're sealed to puddles yes, no seals on a 30 year old truck will stop water when you're sitting in it for long periods with water over the axles. Even with brand new axles and seals some water would likely leak past the seals the way he left it sitting in the water for the video. vehicles just aren't meant to be submerged, and if you do get it submerged you've gotta change many of the fluids just to make sure there isn't water contamination.
      Source, had 2 new bearings go bad with BRAND NEW SEALS due to driving through a flooded road, once. it washed alot of the grease out and the bearings failed a week later. I didn't even stop like he did, I kept a bow waving going the whole time etc.
