Hi all, I recently picked up a 97 3.0 auto with 182k on it. Truck needs a little work so I'm taking my time and going through each system. The rear brakes are shot so I'm going to completely rebuild them; replace the shoes, springs, wheel cylinders, drums, auto adjust, ect...
When I get in there is it worth replacing the axle seals/bearings if there's no signs of leaking? Or should I leave them be if there's no leaking. I'm planning on changing out the diff oil regardless (doubt its ever been done).
What gear oil does the 7.5 3.45 non-limited rear take (code 84).
Also, the parking brake barely works, looks like its the two rear cables as they're rusted to hell. Is the front cable the only one that's variable length depending on wheelbase or do the rears need to be matched to the wheelbase too?
