To start... I was absolutely confident SOMEONE would chime in with the thinly veiled "WHO serviced your bearings" implication that it's my fault... So, lessee, I spent approximately 10 years as an automotive dealership mechanic, doing a variety of jobs including servicing various bearing sets.
SO THE LAST PERSON TO SERVICE THE BEARING WAS ME The same person that greases the bearing buddies every spring when it warms up enough not to be dressed like you're visiting the arctic, and every fall before we park the trailer 'til I get so sick of winter I have to go south. And in that spring greasing, I raise each wheel, check for perceptible play, and adjust the bearings as needed... Would you like me to take you through the process I use to preload the bearings, release the load, then put the final 10-20 inch-pounds of preload on them?
Good call on your part and good luck getting everything resolved and back on the road. Now you can sit back and get flamed for admitting you used the zerks to grease the bearings LOL. It's all your fault. Anything associated with emporer Marcus Tiberious Augustus just plain sucks and the constant is you're getting bent over one way or another after handing over your cash, sooner or later, with anything associated.
On a side note CW recently bought out a long time family owned dealer near us. It did not take long for the entire employee base to jump ship. The GM, Service manager, all the salespeople, and most of the techs, at least the ones that were not clueless,all bailed out in short order. A gentleman who owned a utility trailer business a few miles away picked up some RV lines and hired just about everyone. Instant RV dealership. That speaks volumes.
By the way CW is now running ads for help on Indeed claiming you can earn 100K per year as a service tech with no experience required, and 200K as a sales person. Now maybe if you knew your poop, worked 120 hours a week, and kicked back a portion of earnings to the writer so you got all the money making work and none of the warranty jobs, you might get close LOL.
Want to buy a lightly used bridge I own in NY city?
