    TCF my bearing was in good shape,it was the rubber bushing that failed. I can't really complain at close to 300,000 and the truck is used
    to pull a 40'gooseneck loaded and over several mountain passes
    every week up here in Wyoming an Idaho country. Ps freezing the Carrier and any U-joints may make installation a bit easier. Thanks for the detailed information 👍👍🇺🇲

  • @car_junkie
    @car_junkie 6 месяцев назад +1

    Thanks for the video, I attempted this on my vehicle and the bearing wouldn’t budge. We tried several different ways to get it off with no success until we cut it. Unfortunately in the process of cutting it we did damage the metal underneath the bearing(can’t remember the name for it 😅) I filled the marks with some JB weld in hopes that’ll be enough. Using the pvc pipe worked like a charm though until it got stuck in the new bearing collar… 🙄 so make sure your pvc pipe goes in and out real easy before pounding on it. My truck has like 250k on it so maybe that why it was so hard to get off. Going to reinstall everything here soon and hopefully everything works ok. I bought the AC Delco gold part off Amazon for $36. My local Chevy dealer wanted $360 for the OE part so at ten times the cost I figure the cheaper part was worth a shot. If I had to do this again I might just spend the money to buy a press, if the damage to my driveline makes it fail then I won’t have saved any money and will have to buy a new driveline. Just my 2 cents. Good luck

      @TigerCreekFarm  11 месяцев назад

      Delco is better - but make sure you get the right one. A lot will fit but a particular one came with your truck. Here is what I would do - go to gm parts and put in your vin number to search for your part/part number. It will give you the intended part for your vehicle. I then used the supplied part number to get the same AC Delco part from Summit - $47.50 with tax and shipping.

    • @TigerCreekFarm
      @TigerCreekFarm  Год назад +1

      Replacing the carrier bearing should fix your noise issue. The older spines were not "keyed" and you needed to mark each side so they would be reassembled correctly. If not aligned correctly the drive shaft will have a serious wobble. If you managed to install a keyed spline wrong you will probably have a difficult time separating it. Many, many hits with a dead blow hammer will do the job.

  • @photondebuger45
    @photondebuger45 7 месяцев назад +1

    If you still have the truck, I'd check your driveshaft geometry. That doesn't sound good that it dies quickly. See if the rear end isn't cocked to one side or like the engine and transmission are straight. Also if the driveshaft isn't bent, that one would seem more obvious because it probably shake the truck apart. Also the drive shaft angles too, your ujoints would probably cack it after that too and also shake the truck too. Just ideas.

    @dancurrier374 3 года назад +1

    So much of the parts sold aftermarket lack basic quality and this is by design. Many times I have experienced new parts that simply didn’t work right out of the box. The last was a oil pressure sending unit I purchased on line because it was sold as OEM and was packaged accordingly. Before I retired the fleet shop I worked in got several front hub bearings that failed in record time, first set in less than 20 miles second set less than 100 yards third set as the truck was being backed out of the shop. Never experienced this 20 years ago with the frequency it seems to be occurring in these strange times. U tuber I believe he is known as uncle Tony did a video on this , a new rotor totally separated that could have been lethal .

    • @robertball3578

      I have the perspective of a year later, we're seeing an epidemic of bad parts including OEM. The common factor is they are made in low cost countries, even OEM. Reman GMC engine was so far out of spec that the mechanic had sense to get his supervisor, this is a GM dealership, 23 service bays. Had to order another engine, all the time transferring accessories was lost.

    The reason your carrier bearings failed is because they are made in China. The genuine GM parts should be fine. Dont confuse the AC Delco "Gold" replacement parts with genuine GM OE parts. Most AC Delco Gold replacement parts are just repackaged aftermarket, and much of it is Chinese crap.
    I just bought a carrier bearing for an old square body crew cab, and of course no OE GM parts are still available. I found that the National Bearings brand unit is made in Mexico, but the good news is that the bearing itself that resides in the assembly is made in USA! So, if you want a US made bearing and a North American made/assembled unit, check out the National parts.

    Not a great start saying that this is your 3rd one in 30,000 MI. Also you fail to mention that you need to mark your spine so that it lines up properly for balance. Some drive shafts are self-aligning, but some can be misaligned because there are two slots instead of one. This will cause your carrier bearing to fail

    • @orisisseibert3507

    They are premature failing because of how you are installing the new one. I’d bet money on it bud. You aren’t suppose to hit the bearing or race of a bearing with any force. Can easily cause failure. Which makes sense as to why yours has so much play in them. Otherwise good video

    • @TigerCreekFarm
      @TigerCreekFarm  2 года назад

      Not sure about that. The first failure after the original carrier bearing went out was replaced using a press - but using a lifetime warranty off brand bearing. Replaced this bearing three more times, using my method and getting a warranty replacement bearing. This last time I gave up on the inferior part and got an AC Delco. So far no failure. As long as you are sensible and strike only the inner race of this sealed bearing you should be ok. It's when you strike unevenly or use any of the cage you run into problems. That being said, the press is the best way to install a bearing.
