An air-craft mechanic. Now that is cool ! I've worked with several guys who left the air industry back in the 1980's to work on our busses. They tell stories of how strict the FAA is about every little detail . Do you get to work on Turbines much ?You got it Richard, TM is the acronym for Tech Manuals. I'm and aircraft mechanic by trade, so I encourage individuals to maintain their equipment by the book. Source the manuals for your model trucks. Invaluable information is contained in them. Then get to know your equipment, and their maintenance history. If you cannot establish when something was last accomplished or serviced, make a list and start the maintenance process when time and resources are available. You will have a lot more confidence in the reliability of equipment when you know it maintenance history. Keep a maint. log for each truck. This site and it's member contain a wealth of experience/knowledge and parts availability. All willing to help those who help themselves.
Now pull that axle out and check the condition of the bearing.
