Subject: Re: [GMCnet] bearings

Jim K at Applied, and Dave Lenzi to me are the best choices. I put a 1 ton unit under a friends 78 GMC. Nice unit. But I'll never install one again. We're thinking of pulling that 1 ton back out. It doesn't have the proper geometry. The big talk with the 1 ton is that it has a lifetime bearing that can't be greased because it's a sealed unit. It's a throw away unit at whatever mileage it fails at. Seen many in GM trucks that didn't make it very long. Then you go buy an all new one again. A rebuilt original with the grease fitting should more the likely never fail. Just get out the grease gun every 50,000miles. Put $2 worth of grease in. Done. But. Front components are only half the story. The back is another subject that you need to know about. Bob Dunahugh
