Correct.. basically making the engine fart :)

Just to clarify what I'm trying to avoid. Having 2 known leaking boots that when under highway speed start throwing grease everywhere from the steering knuckle. To me it sounds like that won't be the case.

I mean shurly there's a seal behind the inner spindle beari g though right ? I definitely get that there's a differential seal.

yeah that would make sense seeing that there behind the hub seal ... haha not sure what i was thinking. In any case that doesn't concern me as much then. thanks !

I've done my homework on replacing boots on these units with a Non zipper type. My question is i'm looking to maybe purchase a truck 200+ away. 2 of them are leaking. Do i need to worry about the bearings running dry? I'm a slow driver anyway so speed won't be a factor. Just didn't know if i...

thank you for the responses ! Evil Dr. Porkchop thats exactly what i was looking for . Just to clarify when you guys refer to being able to add " jake brake" thats a legit Jake correct... shuts exhaust valves or an exhaust brake.. closes off exhaust. Thanks again for the schooling !!

For some.reason I was thinking that was it's predecessor.. but thank you ! Did any of the 5 ton units have them ?

Did either of these tractors have Jake brakes seeing as they were manuals ?

From his description its only being assumed that the injector could be bad based on temp read. I'm inclined to think that there all running very lean. But not because of injector faliur but what's behind them in system.

My two cents.. Until this truck has the tank cleaned lines flushed and anything between tank and injectors cleaned it's going to continue to have problems. From that point you'll have a clean slate too work from and more than likely be in the clear

Actually as I was writing this bvm called looks like non comer. Tags are 105 a year so long as I don't use it for my buisness. Assuming she was correct on her info. Does this sound right . I asked about needing my cdl for it , she said so long as gvwr is less than 26000 and not used for...

I'll be there June! Can't get over how many people on this site are so close to me.. Awesome! Scar59 I've really got my sights on a M935a2. But thank you very much. I've been wanting one for years and had I found this site back in the day I'd probably have one. Don't want to rush anything...
