RV particulars:92 Dynasty 36'
Driveline (Engine, Transmission): Cummins 8.3 TI 250HP, 6 spd Allison MD3060
Miles:58000
Year:2003
Break Down Description: Catastrophic failure of left front wheel bearing while doing 65 mph, 300 miles after I had paid a F. L. dealer to repack them both sides
Symptoms: Felt like a blow out and that I was riding on the rim
Effect: came very close to losing control
Cause: some ?@$&#*^!! idiot not doing the job correctly
Outcome: Had to have spindle, hub, bearings replaced. Keep both hands on the wheel now at all times, except when stopped. I will now provide service centers with manufacturer's service info (procedures, torques, etc) when having work this done. I will get service facility to write exactly what they did, so I will have documentation.
