+1 on that. I just finished rebuilding that part of the axle on mine. At least three needle bearings were out of the cage and ground flat. Didn't fix the problem I'm having much to my surprise but that's a different thread
Picking springs that are right for camper on and off will be tough. If you are on the overloads it will ride like crap off road. I can't ever keep air bags from failing in off road rigs. I haven't tried long travel ones tho just a variety of ways to leave them loose on the spring but stay in...
throw out bearing or the pocket bearing? Why would the throw out bearing have anything to do with it. I put it back together after I opened it up just to make sure I could since lots of people say you can't work on a zf5 without the special jig. I'm with the people that say it is a little...
Well there is more to the story. In all fairness I didn't ask lkq to do anything. I bought the truck with the fresh rebuild in it already. Also I'm living about 3 1/2 hours away from Redding. And the tranny is behind a 12v cummins. So it didn't seem worth it to pursue since I knew I would...
Good point. Seems unlikely it would have done that if there was plenty of oil getting to it. The way it failed I was expecting it to look like a grenade went off in there. When I opened it up everything looked pristine. Then I realized that the input and output were solidly fused. Only time...
Weather or not you have a turbo makes no difference. It's the factory turbo motor has differences that effect balancing. Different flywheel different harmonic balancer. if you want more opinions on flywheels you probably need a different thread so the topic isn't buried. I had both the wrong...
Thanks. That's a bit of a drive but having somebody that really knows this tranny do it is worth a lot. I replaced my smoked fresh reman with a quarter million mile factory original about a year ago and it's still busting ass. Of course the reman catastrophicly failed going down a 10% grade...
i know this gets asked from time to time but most threads I find are either old or the result is not good. Anybody have a source for good zf5s. Midwest sounds good on their web sight but their reviews aren't great. Seems like every reman story I hear takes a couple tries before you get a good...
The thread is ultimate tow truck. He said he's ready to spend some money on it. It is way harder and more expensive to get power out of an idi. I love idi and have put lots of money into them but after going Fummins it's hard to go back
Is that super 60 a unit bearing metric axle like the super duties have? If so I'd rather stay with serviceable bearings. if you are going to be running a turbo I think putting a cummins in is easier than putting an idi in. Everything is easier with an inline 6. There is some Money in adapters...
I run 4:88s with a gearvendor and it is sweet on a turbo 7.3. Unbiased opinion would be to put a 12v cummins in this rig rather than an idi tho. The combo of an obs ford with a 12v is better in every way that I know of. I love idi but idk how anyone could argue it against a cummins. If you...
Ok thanks. I need to look at the brake itself to see what's going on. The pedal assembly looks like it's in good condition so if it's not supposed to spring on it's own I guess I'm barking up the wrong tree
