Sure, if you want to. I doubt they will give you your money back though. Maybe you should just not tighten the inner nut so much and tighten the outter nut more, then you won't have any more problems.

Are you running larger than stock tires? If so, you are beating on your truck. By tightening the outter locknut more, much tighter than the specs. It will no longer loosen up and eat your wheelbearings. 36ft lbs is very tight for the inner nut, did you mean in/lbs. There is a huge difference.

Maybe the unit bearings would be better for you then, they come all pre-assembled & pre-greased so people don't screw them up.


I've got 9000+ miles & 3 years on my D35's wheel bearings with 35x12.50 tires (15x8 rims) and not once have I done as much as take the hubs off to even LOOK at them. These same bearings were in use with 32x11.50s, then 33x12.50s for another 10,000 miles prior to this as well.

The method I use when setting them up (with one exception) is EXACTLY the method Ford prescribes (which apparently is NOT what Warn says, unless you just left out the part about retightening the nut to 15 INCH-lbs).
The only one thing I do different is put 250ft-lbs on the OUTER locknut.


Edit:
What kind of grease are you using? I sure hope it's not something with Moly in it...

well douche bag sees how it is only one side that is eating them up i dont think it is the grease im using or the way im installing them other wise it would be both sides dont you think

Was that duck bag or douche bag?
I'm surprised that no one's beaten you to death with a grammar book.

Awesome, attack the people trying to help you
Maybe if you would further explain the problem, preferably in a readable context, you'd get the answers you were after...

Fine, put in a WEAKER D30 and use unit bearings that cost a shit ton to replace.

thats why i have 2 of them left that i got with my Cherokee when i bought it. thanks for the impute but i can see your as dumb as a box of rocks so i will just ignore you. if you would read the post I'm putting the dana 30 in till i can get a d44 from a Rubicon.

The irony of someone calling me dumb as a box of rocks in a post that contains spelling and grammar errors surpassing double digits

There is nothing wrong with your D35! YOU are what's wrong with it. Install and set up the bearings correctly and you'll never have a problem with it!

 

[AKBroncoII]

This is the funniest thread I've seen in a while. If you can't properly torque the wheelbearings on a dana 35 I'm not sure you have the smarts to do an axle swap. You may want to just go buy a jeep.

 

[F150hybred]

OK... so a Dana 30 has weak unit bearings... BIG DEAL! If this guy wants to do a Dana 30 swap and has it in his mind to do it, why not give him the information needed to do it properly and safe.
Dude, If you are gonna do a Dana 30 swap, the unit bearings will last some time.... unless you are running too large a tire. If you want to run larger tires, there is a company that make some real nice stuff that should last a life time.

For what it's worth, I like the way you are thinking out side the box. Keep it up and do post some pics when your done. I wanna see them.. and I'm sure others do too!
