The truck it came off of was taken off the road in 2012, Only had one hub off and the bearings look perfect as do the races. I was trying to avoid removing the rear cover if at all possible. This truck will likely not see a lot of miles put on it. Why I started this project was nothing but a big brain fart..

Sensational Saturday morning Alabama, Stee, John and crew. Looks to be a nice day in my woods mostly sunny, 73°, light breeze and RH of about 35%.
Our nights have been pretty much in the 50's and 60's at night all summer which is abnormal.
Hope your inventory prep goes well, I hated the 3 weeks before inventory at my store. I can only imagine what a store that size is like!

John, I guess Wifey is happy to have you in the shop for the day and she could enjoy a quiet anniversary!
If the axle is quiet on the road, I would just top it off.

Off to see what I can get out of for the day!
