Have you already ruled out front shackles? I totally understand as we make them more quiet the little noises start to bother us. Driving down the road can’t stop trying to figure out what the heck is making that noise. I had on in the AC unit that sometimes you could hear it when the fan speed...

I can definitely see on both of mine where the steel bushing on the bolt is rubbing on the large clearance hole caused by the rubber compressing over time. So where did you find new motor mounts?

I’ll take a closer look today. Where did you find the new mounts?

I wonder who is buying all the crashed / parts trucks from govplanet. Some must be parting these trucks out. Actually reach out to Superman on this forum he usually has a couple parts trucks.

😂 I started the thread! The meritor part threw me off. And I had forgotten about the cross reference number.

That was my next question where you’re getting the analysis done. I’ll have to check it out. What’s the cost each time?

What are those seals for?

That’s very interesting, so being guided by analysis you should know exactly how many miles you can go on the oil. I’m guessing you haven’t driven enough miles yet? Please share how many mile you do have on the oil and what the analysis says.

Oh my…..that looks horrible. Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with these. I can only say clean and remove all the rust and crud. Then start evaluating each piece.

I looked back at the end of the video and it does have RTV on the half moons. And the fact that I’m not leaking any fluids! 😂

Finally got around to putting the video together and uploaded to YouTube. Front Drive Axle seal replacement LMTV FMTV M1078

With this latest oil and filter change I still use the cat filter but I switched from rotella t4 and 1qt of Archoil additive to only full synthetic rotella t6. My oil changes have been around 10,000. That’s about every 6 months.

I thought something was missing. So with that and I’m assuming you use full synthetic oil? What kind do you use? What are your oil and both filters change intervals?

Post pictures of your amsoil filter and part numbers. I’ve considered it but running out of room in there.

I went with standard torque ratings for M8 bolts. For the filter housing and everything else is like alternator bolts and brackets I just tightened by feeling! LOL!!! Exhaust nuts tighten them really good too. 😂 Also while I was working on it I discovered some soot near the exhaust manifold and...

On our 3126B we can’t put a filter before the HEUI pump so putting after protects the injectors and everything else after that. Basically preparing for the HEUI pump to fail. Replacing oil cooler and filter housing gaskets and if needed a flatter oil cooler or machining it flat what ever you...

The kit doesn’t have everything for our motor. That kit is for a motor without the spacer so it’s lacking one gasket and 2 orings. Plus I doesn’t have any of the orings or gaskets for removing the turbo.

My goal on this thread was to share the part numbers after others help me get them and 6 hours of searching the web. And share my findings in the hopes it helps the next person who may want to do this job. Oh by the way not counting a new oil filter or new oil the total cost from Caterpillar was...

Oh I see, yeah I was just repeating all the things I’ve heard people say on different forums, you tube and such.
