Just had mine checked at 51K not knowing the history of our used 05 Dynasty rig. Passenger inboard bearing was starting to mark, grease looked new when the cap was pulled. Drive side outboard bearing was near dry and had same mark on bearings. Changed over to synthetic gear oil. Cost of seals, bearings, and new oil caps was $300 and $300 labor. Now I can check oil on front axel when the tags are checked, worth it to me.
I drilled 1/2" holes in the sides of my front grease wheel bearing caps so I could put some 90 weight gear oil in them at 60K miles. Do not plan on ever re-packing them.
