That's what I was going to try, but I got the wrong ones. Do it.

Those are the inner hub bearings... completely siezed. Outer weren't much better, but they atleast turned.

 

[82355]

On the 14bff or the Dana 44?

Martin

 

[78SWB]

The 44. Everything looked good the the 14 bolt. I ended up getting a bearing/seal kit for the 44 since almost everything was messed up. Im going to think twice about playing in the water now. Too expensive to do this everytime. Granted, I found out I had a giant hole in my breather line that probably let it most of the water...

 

[82355]

Yeah, your 44 was probably due for seals and bearings anyway. My Dana 60 looks fine after that last trip with all new seals and bearings. I think those outer axle seals would be a good idea too.

[78SWB]

They are a good idea, just kinda expensive. I would rather put some in a 60.

You should have bought that Dodge set for $500.

New bearings

Back in

Front is done and back on the ground. Just need some 80/90 and need to get new u-joints put in the front driveshaft.

After that, just need calipers for the rear, bleed the system, 205 output seal, and its go time. Can't wait to test out the Detroit.

The truck is back together, just waiting on ITP to rebuild the front driveshaft. Haven't driven it yet.

So I bought this cheap grille guard off Craigslist and im wanting some opinions on what I should do. Its kind of rusty so should I put it on as is, or paint it? Or what? Im thinking I will just put it on as is, but im open for ideas.

 

[Deuling]

Id scuff it and paint black. My opinion.

 

[78SWB]

What paint would stick good?

 

[Deuling]

Undercoating

Wish my 205 was that style front output.
