    Rear wheel bearing, replace axle?

    Anyone want to comment on brand/make/pn for getting new axles? I know my axle(s) are worn because they showed me the wear when I had the carrier bearings replaced. That was 30k miles ago. The seal on one side is starting to leak - this is also a sign of a worn bearing.

    Rear wheel bearing, replace axle?

    As mentioned - I'm about 98% sure the inner race is part of the axle. There is no separate inner race.

    In case pictures and diagram are wanted or not.

    I guess no need to panic. The ticking noise went away. Still I don't like that it happened. Like a lifter got hung up. That should not happen because I don't have a variable displacement motor.

    Fless, if you are still here. I took the two belts off the front of the engine to measure the runout of the HB. See me on another thread. When I started the car there was a loud and unmistakable clicking. Usually my Tahoe idles almost perfectly quiet. What is going on? Nothing seems to be...

    okay - Took the measurements. Radial runout 0.023", Spec. is 0.40mm (0.0157") I have a bunch of pictures if anyone is interested. My mag. base for dial indicator worked perfectly.

    okay, okay - give me a second. I just found this today. I'm starting to plan how to hold the dial indicator as described. Please stand-by I will report findings. :)

    2002 5.3 Crank appears to wobble at idle

    This is an old thread. I had the HB replaced and I still notice what looks like to much runout. I'm thinking I wonder if there is a spec. on the runout. There is! Looks like the allowed runout is 0.40mm. Measured with a dial indicator. What do you guys think? Here is the copy and paste...

    The focus now will be on replacing the fresh-air actuator which appears to be the only remaining error code. There are a number of YouTubes on this. My current thoughts are: - remove the dash cover, doesn't look too hard - maybe remove or pull the air bag to the side - cut the ducting to get...

    Yes, the systems with the regulator near the intake are able to lower the pressure at idle (high vacuum). It seems my system (no return from the rail area) is more of a constant pressure type. At this point I'm thinking to back off trying to fix my "high" LTFTs. One thought is the MAF is...

    It looks like I have the non-return type fuel system and it is not a Flex engine. I think that helps limit what the fuel pressure should be.

    I read somewhere that the fuel spec. is 60 psi +/- 5 psi

    Major update re. fuel supply/trims. I extend the fuel pressure gauge and taped it to the windshield. It held very steady 59-60psi all the time. Is this too high? I could not see a regulator. Is there one? I drove on a few steep grades and the pressure did not move. At the same time I watched...

    My error. I was able to change the units on my scanner. MAF reading 5.3-5.4 g/s.

    At idle my scanner reads 0.01 lb./sec. and 2400 Hz. I don't see a grams/sec. option. I went on a drive and watched the LTFTs. Nothing too crazy - some 4-5 and a couple times +10%. I need to dive in and take a fuel pressure reading.
