I wouldnt think it would take you more than 2 hours to flip all 4 hubs if you include the time spent taking the wheels on and off. The thing that will take the most time is getting new bearings sent to you if the ones in there don't look so hot.

Wonder what kind of brakes these guys have. They are running an 18.5L diesel putting out 850 hp, 16 speed auto, and top out at 120! (I think I also remember that they are running 14r20 michelins)

So basically 900's will be just fine as long as I dont panic brake or drive like a male donkey?

I have to say that the wet slide 180 he pulled looked a little too perfect. Perhaps the driver has practiced a little Ace Ventura "like a glove" parking style.

I already have the rest of the gearing and such worked out. A not so mildly hopped up 8.3 cummins with a eaton tx14607b trans, spicer 8341 aux with OD. How much torque can a 2.5 ton t-case handle BTW? Anyway, where would be a good place to look at how to set myself up with ABS?

Thats kind of what I was thinking. Something else to consider though is that my truck already has airbrakes, so while more expensive, the 900 series would be less work to install, but I have heard that something like 34% of the vehicular related accidents in the military were somewhat due to...

Most of the people I hear saying the 800 series brakes suck are the people putting them under pickup trucks and such. I have kind of wondered if maybe they werent working because they might have hooked them to the brake system on the truck rather than the air over setup. I will be using the...

I am planing on using a pair of 5 ton rockwell axles on a project truck of mine (truck is rated for 24000lbs currently), but I have heard bad things about the brakes on both series... that the 800 series air over hydraulic are not strong enough, and that the 900 series air brakes are too strong...
