Which axel did they want to replace?
Says "needs new FRONT axel".
I guess my question should have been more direct. Do they want to replace the entire assembly, or one side or the other, and did they list a reason.
It would be the entire assembly if it was grinding, the inner/outer shafts don't really have a grinding noise unless a spline stripped
Just watched the new Beverly Hills Cop on Netflix, it was not very good. Most roll reprisals are not very good IMHO.
"Ya'll" lol. nice work... Well, this was actually my point. There have been several trucks where the splines were found to be a smaller O.D. and the tolerance between the two was causing this exact issue. So, there is that...I'm looking for info...kind of the basis of the thread.
Maybe he's not from this country or from the "holler". I've worked overseas, Western Europe and the folks there do the English thing a bit different. Also was stationed with few "Country Boys" and they spelled tire with a Y = TYRE, and AXLE with the last two letters reversed. Never once did I have to scramble to try and understand what they meant. All sarcasm aside, your YALL needs an apostrophe.
i clearly struck a nerve. Lol
I’ve seen you do that a few times. Lol
I prefer the Rogers tower
And they said I would never be known for anything
This is where my truck currently sits. Waited a month for a T-case and now they want to replace the entire front axle assembly. No eta on the part
They typically don't. There is a lot involved in rebuilding a differential correctly, and most of these "parts chuckers" at dealers aren't trained in diff rebuilds. So they just send new assembly's to be swapped in.
Yeah, shimming and preloading a pinion is an art. I dont blame them. Just sucks waiting 7 months for a repair... BUT theyve always given me a loaner, and atleast they acknowledged that theres an issue, and continue to try. im happy w that.
