Deafautotech

thanks, sometime technicians at my work just wish to be deaf to dont need listen the shop noise or power tools noise... but some of them already had started to feel like loss of hearing as they has been around the louder vehicles, racing and etc in past time... i am not let the disability prevent me but it make more challenges for me to come above of it... But sometime i has a dealership managerment keep make a problem or diffcults for me... i just do my job... i had told them i am not interesting to do noise problems because it would make no sense for me to do it.. i can do if the customers said there is bad feels or vibration BUT NOT noise... my service director still treat me as same with other techs. i had to told him no as not worth for me to do because i am here to make living not fix for free!

i had worked on either Dodge Ram 2500 to Ram 3500 with 4x4, it is 1 11/16... but it is for 4x2 (2 wheel drive) problem is i has 41mm shallow that would fit in but little sloppy(loose).... i am suspect it may be 1 5/8??? i just want buy a correct one to keep in travel toolbox... i has 204,200 miles on it, i dont know when the wheel bearings will go bad but just be prepare to do...

Yes as I want to know what is correct socket as 1 5/8? Or 41 or 40mm socket?

I would say it is not good idea to overfill because it will go leak out of seals like front input shaft seal or rear output seal, it will cause the winding to make shifting little more diffcult. even it can cause to make foaming up... it is not good idea to do... i had never overfill the manual transmission as i just follow the specific to fill and make sure it is in proper level either same with fill plug hole or just between 1/4 to 1/2 below of fill hole (depend on what kind of transmission/transaxle.) i know the ford manual transmission are about 1/4 inch below the fill plug hole... i just filled my NV5600 to fill plug hole and level it before plugged it in...

it is about RWD truck not 4WD truck as it is 1 11/16 that i has it and used it a lot in chrysler dealership in past time but i am still keep it for myself...I am not sure which is correct size socket for front hub/wheel bearing nut?? i has mostly size sockets but i has 41mm that is little more loose to fit in the front hub bearing nut... 41mm is 1.61 inches but i am anal as want correct socket as it is high torque so i dont want put stress on wrong size socket or round on nut...

thanks, I had forget that i am member from Dodge Cummins forum too... Being a deaf automotive technician can be good and bad.... it dont prevent me from to be Automotive Technician.... I can work with louder equipments and power tools... also good for me to dont need do all noises problem like wind noise, beep noise around inside vehicles.. mostly of time my work just have me to do heavy line jobs that i do a lot of engine replacements, engine repairs, common repairs, and etc... sometime i do transmission works but i am manual transmission/transaxle personal...
