Looking for some info or links to replacing the bearings in the rear diff. Srw, 3.73, 4wd, 2006, f350

 

Aw,,,, come on guys,,,,, Anyone have whatever special tools, n the know-how to use them,,, I'd come to wherever you are. $700 was a price u was just given from TY at advanced diesel in N Indiana. I'm about $700'ed to death.

 

Did you price out the bearings Anthony, I think you can do it yourself........

 

I was told they were about $400. Does that sound right??? Sounds expensive as heck to me. Lol. I might try it,,, I gotta study up first tho,,, but thx for the vote of confidence,,, I will take all I can get,,,, seems like once the engine got done,,, everything else is crying for attention. Lol

 

Best thing to do is pull it apart and see which ones you need...........get the number right off the bearings & go to yer place that sells them & get the ones you need........

 

I don't have the details on the installation, but last year I picked up a Eaton Truetrac open box deal from diffsonly.com. It included Timken carrier bearings and shims. I had a person with better knowledge and the right tools to install it for me. "AK F10.5-A - Axle bearing & seal kits for Ford 10.5" rear" from diffsonly.com costs $141.31. "This kit includes Timken inner and outer bearings and races along with high quality seals." Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but if so, hopefully it helps! Also, not saying this is the best price or the best place to order from, but I had no complaints with my order with them.

 

Those are for the axle (aka wheel bearings) inner and outer, I think the OP is doing the carrier and/or pinion bearings and seals?

 

Thanks for catching that. I looked up the wrong bearing kit there. The carrier bearings I used were "CK F10.25 - 10.25" & 10.5" Ford carrier installation kit". That included the bearings/races and shims only. $151.68.

 

Nice,,,, so if I tackle it,,,, It could b a couple hundred???? I think knowledge of it would b worth that. Even if I end up having to have someone else do it in the long run.

Does anyone think traction bars would help the next set of bearings last even longer???? Can't complain tho,, 598k.

 

Anthony,
You will need a dial indicator, dial torque wrench and
the tools to help you measure side-play. After I emailed
you last night I got the workbook out. The job can
be done at home with the tools. You will find a small
press will be very helpful.
I did find that the workbook had the info spread over
many chapters and did not get you the PDF yet.

How long was the original oil in there?

 

It looks like Tousley has the pinion bearing,2006 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY Parts - Tousley Ford Parts Depot

Building diffs is a relatively simple job. A good rebuild manual is your best friend.

 

For $700 on a truck that you use to make a living, pay somebody else to do it.

 

I hear ya all. As for the fluid,,, Mobil 1 full syn LS with no friction modifier,,, changed every 100k,,, Faithfully. I actually got out my 3/4" drive socket set n hit the pinion nut again. I replaced the pinion seal a couple hundred k ago, and I'm sure I didn't get it to 400+ftlb. I tightened it until I thought something was gonna break,,, n it seemed to tighten up (for now). So, I will keep an eye on it,,,
