Re: Axle Bearing Service - Dos and Dont's???
I found a bad bearing and race about 2 years ago and bought Timken bearings and races for all 4. I did the bad one and had a heck of a time getting the races in even with the tools. I inspected the others without replacement and repacked with Mobile 1 full syn bearing grease, (red) and all is still OK. I remember when bearings and races were sold as a set and you never mixed them. With my new Timkens the bearings and races are sold separately and can be mixed. I am guessing once they have been installed and run it's best not to mix them.970Views0likes0CommentsRe: New (maybe) Class A owner and Jeep JK
I am where the OP is but don't have the jeep or MH yet. Still in research and info mode but do have the short list. MH will be a newer but used Newmar Bay Star at 32 ft or less and towing a Wrangler Rubicon to be bought soon. I will be traveling alone with my Bernese Mtn Dog. Present rig is a Ram diesel and a OutdoorsRV TT and is works OK but want the ability to explore more and more room for Berners plus ease of setup. The fear is no ability to back up. I get cold feet over this every day. Once I make the switch there is no going back. A MH is a big $$$$ item that falls like a rock in value. I'll probably just go with all BlueOx system with a Ft bumper on the Jeep designed for a tow bar.501Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rear end bouncing/Equal-i-zer 4-point 10K hitch
On a washboard freeway it feels like my truck is being shook apart by the TT. When not towing the same freeway is not as bad. I would take the tire PSI up to the max cold and see if it makes a difference just to start. Is that 620 tongue weight a measured or on from the factory info. If you really need to add weight you might be able to fill a holding tank in front just to see if that helps. Then if it does add the weight.144Views0likes0CommentsRe: New owners of Blue Ox Sway pro who previously owned Reese...
Great read. I am looking to replace my 14 year old worn EasyLift with the friction bar. I really like the simple Sway Pro as it has no pins to loose and is an easy and quick set up for the one night stops. I questioned the sway control of it but looks like it works. I tow where there is wind so that is important.443Views0likes0Comments
