Great video, can you provide torque specs for spline to knuckle bolts and just for clarification did you pack the knuckle full of grease?

@@paulshallo4195 Thanks buddy. On the 9/16 spindle to knuckle bolts I treated them like a 9/16 lug nut. You torque them to around 160 foot pounds. That’s what my air impact is designed to do so I just used it. And yes I bought a 5 gallon bucket of grease and packed the knuckles full. But if your axle housing seals are bad it will push the grease into your axle housing. So make sure that they are good. I’m working on a video of installing meritor hubs for gear reduction. AKA hater kit. So be looking for that video in the next week or so.

The style case I had didn’t have enough gear reduction, I had the factory case in low to make up for it. That appears to be the problem, so now with this new case I will only need the reduction from it and everything should be happy. There will only be the factory transfercase and this new one now, but I will not be using any of the gear reduction in the factory case anymore.

@@josephlenzsch3628 oh man, yeah well like anything I think it’s who you know. 5 ton virgin steer axles go for between $1200 and $1500. I lucked up and found 3 of them for $2100. It’s pretty common around here to get a steer and a rear for around $1800. Good used tires are hard to find. I’m on some Facebook forums for tires and mega trucks. They have things listed for sale all the time but they sell fast. I bought two of my 28L Firestone’s locally for $750 and the other 2 shipped down from I believe Indiana for $1400, off facebook. I’ll probably do a video eventually talking about what everything cost and where it came from. 14.9s, 16.9s, 18.4s R2 are all good size tires for 2.5 tons or a smaller 5 ton rig, You can often find a set of them on rims for $2500 give or take. The thing is you have to be ready to jump when you see a good deal.
