[@donfichter5312]

Glad to see you back Gordon I haven't been watching to many you tubes but I sure enjoy yours good information on the bull gear I'll be checking mine my mileage is unknown so it's definitely time

[@Galen1959]

Another great video! Thank you!

[@duaneadams3786]

Thanks for the video anytime I can work on my own motor is money in my pocket I've never had that problem knock on wood but if I do I wont be intimidated thanks again

[@chrischiampo7647]

Nice Job Gordon That Was an Expensive Part 😮😲😮

[@Thecasey34]

Good to see your still posting every now and again. Stay save gord

[@57bagre]

Thanks Casey.

[@prevost8686]

Mine has just over 800,000 miles on it but my oil analysis still look great with very low wear metals. I was actually amazed at how low the iron, chrome, and aluminum was. I need to try to have a good year before I tear into it and replace the gear.

[@johnanderson2451]

Thanks Gordon , I have the same engine

[@williamzoom]

Our parts cost have gone up 20% since the first of the year!

[@57bagre]

I don't have time to find the parts to fix it at home or you know I would have. Everything's going up fast these days.

[@birdeizzle]

Respect Gordon 🙏🏾

[@57bagre]

Thanks for watching.

[@andrewmcglynn4107]

Man this a great video

[@elroyelblander6277]

Right on man 👍👍

[@BoucherYe]

Thank you

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Good fix still a little belt shake but way better for sure

[@donrotenberry6571]

Gordon another great video. Sorry it cost you so much money to fix the auxiliary gear.

[@ericcorse]

Damn they are proud of their parts.

[@57bagre]

Yep, sure are.

[@andreysych8835]

Nice

[@mileswatkins2162]

Question the camshaft and timing gear are on there own system How does the engine transfer power from the crankshaft to the bullgear to the timing to the camshaft

[@jcdahippie]

I think the last time I had to change mine was half that price. Mine only made it about 500k though. The rest got 1.4 million and then decided to eat a piston dropping down a 7% grade. Gotta love trucking.

[@zaidchalabi1599]

damn. thats dangerous

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Wow belt is bouncing a ton when the ac compressor is on

[@arazali9279]

Hi Robertson can I ask a question about coming down from a hillside and you’re already driving fast 50mils how you slowing down with my appreciation.

[@okiekidd6091]

First, Maybe, I know it will be good, stay safe Gordon

[@57bagre]

Yes Alan you're first.

[@okiekidd6091]

@@57bagre Thank you Gordon, and have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@angelmartin4519]

Hey Gordon how are you? Wanted to ask a question. I have a 06/07 century 14L. I’m not sure if this was like this before or after my kingpins got changed. But I have this running away issue with my truck steering. Like if it hits a bad spot in the road it sways like a boat in the ocean left to right or just to one side and I have to correct it. It’s a scary feeling. The truck got an alignment already from freightliner. Maybe needs a balance idk if that would do it. But a independent mechanic told me that the gearbox when you twist the wheel back and forth there’s a slight delay in the wheels reacting to the turn . Would the gear box be the issue or the kingpins? I’m just tired of replacing parts with no answers thanks

[@CharlieWhitewolf]

Back at around 600k miles I had that problem in mine had to replace the Kingpin. Those Century's are money hogs. I went from an old Ltd to the century worse mistake I ever made but I stuck with it and now have 2.4 million miles on it. The LTD dropped out at 1.9 million miles.

[@detroit6025]

It also has says up with a arrow facing up stamped in it

[@57bagre]

didn't see that. Thanks.

[@willmann30]

Nice Gordon sir. I'm having a serious whine when the engine warms up. Sounds like it's coming from the accessory drive pulley. It only started making that noise AFTER I replaced the water pump. Could I have possibly could of messed up alignment in the gear housing or something?

[@57bagre]

I don't think so, maybe alternator. Try listening through a piece of hose to pinpoint the noise.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Gear looks good don't see any wear on the bull gear

[@joelovelace5270]

Does anyone know the part number to that belt? I run 2 v belts and they flip over. All pullies are good. Thank you.

[@crenninger1000]

you can buy a seal and all the bearings to rebuid it on the internet .you can even buy a new shaft. pai has everything you need i did mine, not that hard .i did new shaft and all the bearins plus seal for around 150 dollars.

[@renesolis1316]

Is there a link to order mine started wobbling

[@chrise3801]

Easy fix 👍 just expensive,they must be confused and think that's a Cat part haha

[@christopherwilliams4647]

I wonder if you went to an automation store or a bearing warehouse if they could have matched up the seal.

[@57bagre]

I'm sure I could have if I had the time. Thanks for watching Chris.

[@dariojr69]

Mr.Gordan quick question does it have to be timed? Or can i just pull it off and put the new one in? Mine is leaking alittle bit of oil but i dont want to get worst

[@57bagre]

No. The only gears that need to be in time are inside the timing gear case, everything outside only need to push it in. Thanks for watching.

[@dariojr69]

@57bagre thank tmyou for putting up these videos for us i know for a fact we arent the only ones that thank you.. your awesome Mr.Gordon you keep us going

[@jtaylor9816]

Do those bolts have to be torqued or can you just tighten them snug?

[@57bagre]

Just tighten them a bit, if you want to torque them they're about the same size as a 3/8 bolt which would torque at around 35 to 40 ft lbs

[@Vasilyevich05]

Wonder why the belt started to dance when ac compressor turned on. But not before?

[@57bagre]

The a/c has a pulsating drag on the belt but the alternator has a smooth steady drag. Thanks for asking.

[@Graveltrucking]

Got it fixed it will last till you decide to hang up the keys.

[@57bagre]

Lets hope! Thanks Mike.

[@johnnygogo1135]

How many miles do bull gears last

[@57bagre]

I've been told we need to start watching the bull gear for wear at around 1 million miles. Thanks for watching.

[@054fredo4]

I got blow by on my Detroit they are trying to get 30k for a rebuild 🤦🏾‍♂️ but it still runs hard what can I do because 30k is not happening

[@57bagre]

30k is too much, I think the going rate is more like 15 to 20. I rebuilt mine at home for about $4200.00 parts and machine shop and of course I did the labor. I had 1.5 million miles on it at the time and I still have some blow by but I don't care, it runs good and makes money. I wouldn't worry about blow by if it's not like way too much. I did my rebuild on video you can find it in my playlists.

[@054fredo4]

@@57bagre yeah I watched the whole season great video me myself I’m not mechanically inclined like you and don’t have all the equipment to get the job done so even if I get the kit I’ll still have to find someone for the rebuild

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

862 bucks wow would of been cheaper to install the pully and replacing the bearing yourself

[@CharlieWhitewolf]

I've Got 2.4 million miles Detroit and I need to replace my Bull gears.They are the original and looking for a video to see how to do that. Anybody know of a Good video for it?

[@57bagre]

I doubt if anyone has or will ever have a video on doing a complete bull gear job. If you think you are equipt to handle that then the first thing you need is an engine shop manual or copy the pages from one covering that job. You need to take off the oil pan, jack up the front of the motor a little to clear the front mount, take off the accessories from the timing cover, then the main pulley, then the timing cover (you'll need an overhead lift for that) now you can have access to the timing gears. I was happy to pay a professional shop to do that for me although I am equipt to do it I sure don't want to.

[@CharlieWhitewolf]

@@57bagre Well me an that old girl are retired now days. Got what it takes but I sure do appreciate the heads up on it, Been thinking about getting her back up and going and build a RV box on her. Take the wife out, let her see the states.

[@iulianolariu1959]

Too much money. I took the bearing and seal from whisler bearing from Denver and I paid a machine shop to put them on and is way cheaper

[@57bagre]

I didn't have time, I was under dispatch and had to roll.

[@peterthomas2139]

@@57bagre Unfortunately that's the reason you gotta pay more. Time is of the essence. Many times I've paid more due to a time issue. But job is done. Thanks again for another good video Gordon. Always looking forward to whatever you get into!

[@57bagre]

Thanks Pete.

[@TheDisorderly1]

800 bucks, good grief.
