    PTO Poppet washer

    That copper washer is only intended as a gasket, not a shim! If you used teflon tape or sealant instead of a metal gasket it should make no difference in the mechanical function. So your problem is somewhere else. Possibly incorrect coil spring bottoming out to soon? (IIRC the poppet ball was...

    Sorry, I'm trying to understand what the suggested trial should proof...:? Just to clarify: if the original problem was drivetrain wind-up after "coasting backwards" it still will occur in NEUTRAL... !! Only when shifted into REVERSE should a spragTC-equipped truck pull or roll backwards...

    More Hot Rear Axle Hubs

    My answer (again) is: YES! If still in doubt, take one of them out, drive for a while and compare temps. Eventually they will "wear in" or better say burn out, soon! Then hub temperatures will be back down to "normal", at the price of reduced sealing capability, at best...! G.
