    ZT2800 Hydrogear - 500 Hours on Original Fluid / Filter

    Keep them cool, and they will outlast the frame. Temperature is #1 issue. You can also switch it out to a high viz hydraulic fluid...but I have beaten that horse enough.

    Common EV's in your area

    I did like my EV6 GT...it was a ton of fun to drive. A little heavy, but always put a smile on my face. The downside is road tripping. Here in Iowa you measure travel in hours spent behind the wheel. If you venture off a main interstate, charging is very tough to find...and I like to keep my...

    Got my timken bearing for ford flex in the mail.

    If it is a known name brand, there must be something else wrong...installation, misalignment, etc. I have never experienced this, or seen it in practice.

    Got my timken bearing for ford flex in the mail.

    I have no way to back it up, but I can say without a doubt contamination/seal failure is the #1 cause of wheel bearing failures in modern cars. Timken spent MUCH $$$ to produce machines to replicate wheel end conditions in a car, most importantly, the environmental conditions...dust, water...

    Got my timken bearing for ford flex in the mail.

    It has been a few years since I have been through a Timken plant, but I'm quite certain they still produce some here in the US. They literally invented the roll forming clamp process you see on most of the self contained wheel end units used today. I've seen where the test them the WEEM (Wheel...

    Got my timken bearing for ford flex in the mail.

    Totally possible. They make agreements with parts distributors to supply full line, and if there is a part they don't make, they will source it at their quality standards and put it in an orange box. I still remember the day I learned that...made me feel less proud to work there.

    What are you listening to right now?

    Far from my normal genres, but this song always makes me stop and listen. I don't know how many know the original version music video, but it was very sexy...this is the first remake that captures that passion.

    Got my timken bearing for ford flex in the mail.

    Car wheel bearings are actually a very low stress application...they almost always fail due to seal failure and contamination ingress. The most important part of a wheel bearing lasting is the seal, and machining surfaces around that seal.

    Got my timken bearing for ford flex in the mail.

    Former Timken engineer... Yes, Timken does still make some here in the USA. If it has the Timken brand name, it is being overseen by Timken employed quality engineers, and has to meet everything from source steel quality to hardening, case carburization, machining, tolerances, etc. It will...

    How many of you have made your " Final Arrangements " ?

    I appreciate your concern...I can assure you spending money needlessly is not in either of our characters.

    I know what to do with my bride...I don't care what is done with my remains after I depart.

    Pyramid of Intellect...

    The top IMHO would be folks who know and understand hydraulics... Does a pump produce pressure, flow, or both?

    What are you listening to right now?

    I like it...the story reminds me of my favorite rapper...he is unsigned, and he and his girlfriend produce all their videos. Warning I guess...he uses the "P" word to describe male genitals, but in the proper context, not derogatory, and not sexual.

    Sub Inflation

    pretty sure that is by weight, not by fluid ounces...if the ketchup is more dense than water, then this makes sense.

    Sub Inflation

    That is due to the flavoring being used, not a reduction in content.
