Need Help Before Autozone Closes!!!!!!!
ok i was driving to work today and at 65 MPH and the drivers side rear wheel locked up..... yea that was real fun almost got hit by a dump truck...... i belive i have that narrowed down to a busted break shoe which is being replaced under warranty..... but there is also now a noise that sounds like worn bearings that wasnt there before so i want to get new wheel bearings for the rear i know i have the sterling 10.25 because it takes 3 inch brakes but now the question is which one.... i have read there is a full floating and semi floating and they take different bearings

Most likely a full-floater, the only semi-floats I've ever seen were in light-duty gasser F250, never in a diesel. Look at your rear axle tho, if the hubs are sticking out the center of the wheels and there are 8 smaller (than the wheel studs) bolts on them then it is a full-float axle.

There is just one wheel bearing seal, it's on the inboard side of the wheel hub where it meets the axle tube. The outboard seal is between the axle shaft and the hub, and it's just a large o-ring, those hardly ever go bad cause all they do is just sit in there, unlike the inboard seals that actually rotate with the hub and thus do wear out.

I myself never replace wheel bearings without replacing seals. I usually turn the hubs and do new brakes at the same time, including rebuilding or replacing wheel cylinders. Nothing worse then doing a brake or bearing job and a month later a cylinder start leaking. My theory is that it's a pain in the but job and if I am going to do it... I only want to do it once.

Unless your clutches are semi-worn already, in which case the proper oil with the proper amount of friction modifier can make them slip bad. In my axle I run straight oil, no modifier, and the clutches still don't grab as hard as I want them to...
