    Wheel bearings - old Dodge motorhome

    pull the wheel and look. pretty sure your rear is a dana 80, however could be the Rockwell FDS75 Axle from the D400/D450. the front would be from the commercial line of trucks. pretty sure thats a D400 or D450 front.

    guys, read the OP-s first post. he ran the motor drive full-up for 20-30 minutes at a time. we are not talking a 20 second blip to navigate a bit of shallow water, we are talking over 200,000 cycles at a time of the u-joints making that greater than 8 degree bend on the double cardan joint...
