    Made a run down highway 231 today myself .. Got on at Farlen (5-6 miles south of I-69) down then to Loogootee and Jasper - boy has the north side of Jasper really grown - and on to the cemetery on the south side of Huntingburg.. Decorated my grandparents Lewis. And that is “ low-go-tee “ to us hillbillies ....

    Hi there Kurt, how are you? I in the 70s 80s and 90s used to run meat out of those same places but I think they were called Iowa beef Packers back then and Kansas beef packers but those screws that keep loosening up on you if you just throw some Loctite on them They probably would not loosen up anymore and you would still be able to remove them later on if you had to the cave that you were in last week, that was very interesting to me. I have never been in that one, but I am subscribed to you for although five months now are used to love running my reefer back in the day. I had back surgery and I am handicap now I cannot walk but I do drive around in a handicap vehicle so hang in there brother I’ll be watching.👍👍

    The 1 and only time I went through St. Louis was in 1987, I was 22 yrs old, on my way to Casper Wyoming from Ohio. Driving an old Hornet with a broken hatchback and a hole in the front passenger floor. Cant remember the route I took, looked a lot different than it does now. Eight months later i drove back home to Ohio.
    Driving back home I was at ease,,driving amongst the truckers, I was alone. There was one guy that had Ohio plates, so I thought i'd follow him for a while. I love traveling the roads.

    Yes it a pinion seal you drop the drive shaft and you undo the cover that holds the seal go to a bearing or shop that sell seals take the old one it may have a part number on it to match up tap the new one in and bolt it all back together not to hard to do hardest part is getting the drive shaft out if it been there a while

    Hey Kurt, it’s me again the handicap extra truck driver don’t let those assholes bother you but they say they’re probably not even truck drivers. I guarantee it and I’m not sure what rear you have, but most of them have a plate after you take the yolk off the plate unbold, and you can knock out the seal and knock in a new seal.

    Kurt you better hope like hell that rear seal doesn't go out, or it could totally screw up, and lock up your whole rearend! Plus it could wallow out, and chew up every gear in your rearend!
    What you need to do is, get up under there, and see if you can manually shake the cupling where the driveshaft mounts onto it!
    If you can move it even just a hair (because those seals are machine pressed), in there, and there's not supposed to be any movement whatsoever, then you best get somewhere in a hurry!
    Good luck!...🤔👍

    I remember back when my wait time and layovers were spent changing filters, cleaning in and out, checking fluids and filling them, scraping and greasing the fifthwheel, and all the other fun stuff. Almost forgot using the wadding to polish the aluminum on the tanks and trim. Did a lot of California runs and seemed like if your rig looked good they didn't tend to want to do an inspection so much. When you're running your own truck there's never a lack of things to do.

    Kurt, beautiful drive down Indiana country roads.
    About your Rear diff seal, no matter if Merritor or Dana, you just need the yoke puller, makes life a whole lot easier, works on all Class 8 yokes. If/when you get there, and the bearing is loose, change immediately, Merritor, you evidently can change the bearing carrier, if worn, Dana, no luck. If you leave a Dana, bad, bad juju. It evidently takes out the bearing support (not replaceable, for Dana) a new banjo housing, or a serious welding/machining job, is in your future! No Fun, expensive!!! Unless someone knows more, on that, I'm willing to listen.
    Best wishes all, from the far North.
