I've recently developed a vibration that feels like rear wheel bearings in my 2500HD with 10.5" AAM axle. I pulled the axle tube out and there's a little bit of play in the bearings. Not enough to really measure but enough to feel when I rock the wheel. I still have my 2 5/16" socket for the Dana's in my 12v Cummins Rams but the AAM has a different socket. Anyone know the size of this socket and what the torque spec is for preloading the bearings? My '95 shop manual says to simply re adjust the bearings when they get loose. I'm assuming the same applies to the AAM axle.
Yeah I know it's a Hemi powered 2500HD. I said I'd give it a try and so far the engine is doing fine at 116k. The rear end is the only problem so far. There are two 2500HD LB QC 6.7L '08's in central Florida that I may go have a look at. It's getting close to the time to slide back into the dark side.
Thanks for any help on the socket...
