I think alot of it is temp related. Towing hot in hot weather

So how many did you had to replace in that hot Alaskan weather??

BTW how much did that guy in Falher soak ye for putting that IP on the dodge?

 

[ak diesel driver]

I suspect where they were made might matter ?? Who knows. All I know is this was enough to make me change mine. I saw it first hand.

I would guess there are conditions that rubber will rot easier, perhaps fluids leaking on it, antifreeze and oil could break it down. sitting without running for extended periods perhaps. humidity level?

Any tricks to doing the front seals on these ?

Not really...I used a punch or screwdriver on the old seal ...hitting it in on the side to deform it, allowing
access to pry it out. For the install just uses a correct size piece of PVC or something similar to smack it in,
if you dont have a seal install tool.

Nope, that wasn't my truck although I did do work on it....:rof:
I never had one come apart either but seein' that made me wanna change mine with the mystery vibration I got. Probably not the balancer but at least I can rule it out.

Yep, pretty much beat the shit out of it and she'll pop right out... I used a 'bushing cutter'.
