[Acoals]

We have a thread for everything else, we need destruction. What's left of a Rockwell RD22145 center section to start off . . .

So the bull gear decide it had had enough? Pics are SUPER big.

 

[Acoals]

The pinion gear lost about three teeth, chewed up the ring gear pretty good too.

I can't say I really know how to mess with the pics much, I just point the phone at it and click.

I just found your other thread on this. Usually see this in winter and early spring. Sorry that happened. Looks expensive.

Alot of wheel slip then grab is usually enough. Sad to see such carnage but happens.

Rotors cooked to a turn by a new CDL driver, 6 months experience, rotors had 62,000 miles
on them.

Driving too fast for conditions, 220,000 miles on it, totaled. Only one of many.

Looks like they forgot to tell the guy about the engine brake . . .

Two 10 speeds toasted in three months by a new hire, belonged to a customer.

Driver school--I rest my case about new CDL drivers, just because one is packing a CDL does not
constitute a driver.

Just had fuel lines replaced that morning.

Two drivers at The Yard, front bumpers crumpled since I left last time, less than year. Come to find out Two Each under a year. Tires holed in less than three days on trucks. One Western Star tractor Air Disc brake, 6th steer axle seals(both) in under a year, Five on drives. 120,000yr truck.

How exactly does a driver wipe out axle seals?

How exactly does a driver wipe out axle seals?

A problem built into air disc-Heat. The cavity where the seal is small plus the rotor is tucked inside
the drop center of wheel. Which allows for very little cooling through the rotor veins. Depending
on brake usage the seals cook, especially the National type OEM. Air disc works in some applications,
out here in many cases trucks are spec'd with disc on the steer drum on tag and drive. My experience
with air disc-it's definitely not cost effective in a fleet-OO maybe.

Rear idler on a D6N, they finally quit when one side of the idler shaft was completely worn off and the idler kicked sideways. Something tells me they heard it making noise before it got to this point. Frame had to be welded up and new dowel holes drilled.
