Wow and I was upset yesterday when replacing a right rear wheel cylinder to find oil in the hub. Looks like someone in the past didn't do post fording maintenance. Are the others the same?

The other front had some dark grease but they cleaned up spotlessly. No contamination into the driveline just the bearing. Hub seals were good, I have no idea how it got in there or how long. Years and years and salt water is my guess. The wheel ran cool, tight and quiet. I was in there to change an axle boot and was surprised to find all that. It will be better soon. I have not pulled all the rear axles yet but the oil is clean and dry in the rear ends so I bet they are all fine. On the list regardless.

I installed locking door locks and fixed windshield washer bottle. O and topped off my motor oil.

What was the issue with your washer bottle, and how did you fix it? I have a 939 series, and the metal threaded hold-down ring on the washer bottle pops off when the jar is pressurized. The vent in the top plate is clear and working.

I'll start a new thread on this, but if your situation was the same, please indicate your resolution. Thanks.

[Mike929]

where did you put the air filter??

I was wondering that same thing when I saw that picture.

 

[Ddmk18]

I will get pictures of that tonight. I put a filter setup under the hood that's plumbed in line with the original pipe. It's a K&N for large diesels
