Okay, that makes a lot more sense, then just saying you pay $3-4 and gallon lol.Up to 30 gal. I keep like 60-75 gal on hand and rotate it out after two years if not used. Sometimes it's cheaper to put in car than the current price of regular
You have a choice of replacing the hub or put in a new bearing and use LocTite bearing retainer on it. Matt might have a knurling tool that you could use on the hub to hold a new bearing race.
That's great stuff. I remember standing in line to get it
I think that's the same as "marine grade"? As said, pay attention to the tag stapled on. I used some std pt for a raised box I had left over just to try it. 3yrs and it's toast.
Ordered new Raybestos hubs and rotors as a complete unit got them from parts geek in PA I’ve used them before . Rockauto was cheaper but they are out of stock just wish I had looked at the bearings a couple of weeks ago .
Soak and clean for a good look. Me, id clean all the old grease out, inspect for any sign of wear and if none repack with the grease of your choice. I've switched to Lucas Red N' Tacky for pretty much everything.
Decisions, decisions. I would tow it down as you might just sell it to somebody there. Plus you get to stay cool with the AC on. If it was Spring or Fall I would drive it.
I use the red on bearings too. With the race spinning in the hub I decided to replace both hubs and get all new bearings .
I’d want to drive it around in Tennessee that’s the point of going . We take day trips to Nashville and what fun is it driving the Dodge . The 68 no way in hell could I drive it 908 miles one way its a 250 straight six with 4.57 gearing but I could use it down there . I would have to unload the dodge it’s full of wood
I don’t think I would trust bearing retainer the race spins way too easily.
I would have staked the **** out of it with a chisel and stuffed it in there.
I’ve done it on trailers to get home . But I wouldn’t do it to this truck if it fails the spindle is way to pricey if it gets Fs up .
If you got a lathe you can knural it. Used to be a pretty common thing to do.
The old fashioned way; buy new bearings and check the race. if it is still loose, take a small center punch and a small hammer and pien the surface on opposite sides, 90º or 120º apart. Just enough to keep the race from turning. If you are paranoid, then put some loctite on too before you put the race on. THen you don't have to decide which other truck to use.
I’ve done that to Trailer drums and the occasional spindle to get home . I’d rather not do that before starting the trip .
I’ve put them on a TON of pumps….Beautiful fish Matt.
I need to make sure I get out this summer/fall, sure enjoy some trout fishing/eating.
That's awesome.
Did you put one of those stickers on the pump...
