i would need to see the seal that you removed, many of the new seals now are unitized, so when you remove a componet it basically rips it in half so you must install a new one, if yours was a old style you may be fine, if the piece that was on the old yoke looks plastic its a unitized one. the good news is the meritor rearend you have looks to not have that stupid screw in seal nut that leaks.
Thank you for that evaluation. Appreciate your input. Steven says that Freightliner and FleetPride say that the numbers are in all in sync. They are saying that it has the correct seal. Said that it should be fine. THANK YOU for taking the time to give YOUR FEEDBACK. Ruthie and Steven Howard 01/13/25

About 5 below in Mn. now. Waiting at a sugar beet plant on detention pay 11:30AM now load time was suppose to 8AM should have been loaded and gone at 9AM.
Oh, don't we know! Don't we know! Steven has "been there and done that." We know all about getting stuck playing the WAITING GAME. Most times, he did not get detention pay. Wow!! That's 🥶 COLD!! MINNESOTA SOUNDS LIKE A VERY COLD STATE! Hope you are staying warm, Mr. CHRISTOPHER. RUTHIE ❤️ 01.14.25
One more hard job done bye the great Steven.. one question how come Steven isn't using his new coveralls? Getting close to getting back on the road Steven one part at a time won't be long now and you well be makin money driv,ah...
Wow!!!! TALK ABOUT KNOWING OUR CHANNEL!!! THAT IS AN INCREDIBLE OBSERVATION ABOUT THE COVERALLS!! You are probably the ONLY ONE that has noticed that he is not using the new coveralls! What an amazing catch!!! He wants to save those for when he is back on the road and handling tarp loads. He doesn't want to start getting grease on them righy away. Thank you so much! Ruthie ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 01.14.25

@bigbellyrebuilds2778 if ya all wasn't so far away you could bring it to my barn and work on it but I'm sure Steven wouldn't want to travel a couple states away...
@@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248 That is a very kind offer. If you were just down the road--SURE! So, of course, naturally we will have to politely decline. Thank you just the same.
