ms60ocb Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 It is getting common for me to have truck service, going in with one problem and getting home with two problems. Last week went in with dash Malfunction light. Turned out to the EGR cooler was plugged because of leakage. That was all under the hood work but get home a rear axle is leaking. Another way of saying this, "My head was to worked on and I woke up the next morning to find my HEMORRHOIDS were beat on and bleeding." I had moved the truck after setting two days to find oil all over the wheel. I removed the hubcap to see stored oil. I look at the axle end and BIG HAMMER marks were found. Looked at the other side, same problem. So far it seems like a big cover-up in the shop. I can't imagine the reason for the BIG hammer or the internal damage but another shop is scheduled to look at the problems tomorrow. Any predictions?

ARGO Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Well, to make a fair comparison, we'd have to know how close or related YOUR two parts are. You'd have to see the movie to understand.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms60ocb Posted July 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 The wheel base is 183 inches making the distance at least 170 inches not allowing for height difference. The axle hub is knee height and the EGR cooler and components associated are above wrist high . The Site Manager is sending a fellow to take pictures. It is taking him a long time to travel 70 miles. Must be a good doughnut place i don't know about .

NeverEasy Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 The axle is removed by hitting the center with a sledge hammer. The axle recoil from the blow will break the seal and spring out. It works, I have done it.
