    Seals around the axles - where best to buy?

    I’ll have to read his comments. sounds like I might be ordering some eco hubs. I would save about $1,700 every 10,000 miles in diesel.

    Seals around the axles - where best to buy?

    Are you saying that is still true with eco hubs and 3.07 gears? And you definitely don’t mistake the high pinion’s set up.

    Seals around the axles - where best to buy?

    So what year did the high pinion start coming out?

    Seals around the axles - where best to buy?

    Interesting, I do have a rear locker. I would love to get 9.5 mpg. Just worried about off road situations where you want to creep up the rocks, Not rock bouncing because I have to keep the speed up.

    Seals around the axles - where best to buy?

    So even though my pinion is a few inches above center the high pinion is even higher?

    That’s crazy. How do you recognize the high pinion. And wouldn’t you want that front and rear.

    Seals around the axles - where best to buy?

    I changed gears almost 7 years ago. Way before eco hubs. If I had a choice today I would probably go eco hubs but I don’t have my old gears to reverse it and install eco hubs.

    Seals around the axles - where best to buy?

    After a total of 12 months and 23,000 miles with 3.07 gears, average speed of 50-60 mph, never faster than 60 no matter terrain or road I get a consistent 6.5 mpg.

    Seals around the axles - where best to buy?

    I’m at a similar position, I completely rebuilt the hubs last winter and now have to replace front axle housing outer seals. So this time when I have it apart I’m considering the front axle sleeve bushings, axle U- joints, pinion seal….

    So that would mean I need 4 of the sleeve bushings as well.

    Those drawings don’t show that. The seal, thrust washer and sleeve are in the same order in both drawings. Indicating they go into the axle housing. If they went into the hub they would be in reverse direction.

    Look closely that’s the same drawing just with the axle shaft. 59,60,61 are identical to 8,10,11 and identical part numbers. They are in the exact same order. So only 1 seal one thrust washer and one bushing sleeve. Per side not 2 on of each side.

    LMTV FMTV front axle outer seal replacement

    I’m so confused the seal, washer and sleeve bearing are shown that go in the axle housing. Where is the other seal go.

    I have a friend that modifies these axles for monster trucks. I’ll see is he has a better source and experience doing this job.
