When you replace that front bearing, remember there's one on the other side too. Then, there's four more behind as well. If one's gone, the others can't be that far behind.
Always something that I had learned when trying to be educated as mechanic. The same for something that will effect the safety or the steering angles. I will rather replace both sides of the same axel. It might cost more, but better safe then sorry
I am not sure how this truck is setup, but I had a truck that bearings at the wheel hub and then another set further back in the axle tube. They all needed to be replaced at the same time.
Those trucks are designed so that water physically cannot get into anything besides the cab. If water has gotten in there, the seals are probably extremely worn or cracked.
Have you guys ever come to think of the fact that not all of these trucks will be exactly the same? That other people may have replaced the bearings with either sealed or non-sealed versions? It's not like these are fresh from the factory floor. Just because it's the same truck doesn't mean it's exactly the same.
Western the day I found your videos was the start a great trend! You never fail to make me laugh out loud! Dom’s dry wit and his reactions are hilarious also! Great times!
Dude you are so hitting a million subs this year. BRAVO!!!! Your videos keep me laughing!!! And today I really needed this. My shop build is on hold due to a gas line relocation, the flip car I got is not profitable, and my water heater is going out.... This was epic bro!!
As fellow M923A1 owner I can tell you that the seal and inner/outer wheel bearings for one hub will run you about $250. Taking these steel soldiers fording (i.e. driving in a pond) pretty much requires a complete tear-down and rebuilding of all the hubs and axles. You probably have a bunch of water sitting in your axles and differentials. Would be smart if you, at the very least, drained and refilled the pumpkins.
I'd have to say the worst part of discovering your channel is I have tons of great videos to watch but eventually get caught up and then have to wait for you to put out more. Spoiled myself by binge watching your constantly and now have to wait for more. Have a great day. 🙂
I love those old 5 tons. Be cool if you got a 2.5 ton lmtv to keep her company.... mrap 3.09 diffs and swap the seats and you'll have a nice little daily driver.😁
@@jamespooley6626 Then it is confirmed. Dom is indeed the kid from Shrek Ever After all grown up. What a nice young man he turned out to be. And so handsome. Lol!
MILITARY trucks are simple enough to work on. Thumbs up and thanks for sharing this experience, WOW'S!!! Well at least you didn't have a truck loaded up with gravel.
Glad you guys got back safely and great promo for Doc P. “ great to drink and extinguish fires too” ha ha (don’t try it at home though folks!) stay alive and prosper boys!
@@jesumachorro they're sealed to puddles yes, no seals on a 30 year old truck will stop water when you're sitting in it for long periods with water over the axles. Even with brand new axles and seals some water would likely leak past the seals the way he left it sitting in the water for the video. vehicles just aren't meant to be submerged, and if you do get it submerged you've gotta change many of the fluids just to make sure there isn't water contamination. Source, had 2 new bearings go bad with BRAND NEW SEALS due to driving through a flooded road, once. it washed alot of the grease out and the bearings failed a week later. I didn't even stop like he did, I kept a bow waving going the whole time etc.
That army truck needs offical reocgnition, like a medal. It has survuved lots of battles in various wars and now, now it has to survive being owned by Westen!
You’re awesome buddy!!!! My 9yr old son and I watch every video y’all upload and you inspire him to be a Diesel mechanic. He wants to build a Camaro with a Cummins LOL keep up the good work boys and I appreciate the videos and positivity you bring in our lives.
Hey Westen, I think I noticed that you were pushing that knob in on the dash like it was a parking brake. The truck parking brake is the lever to the right of the seat on the floor. The knob on the dash is for trailer brakes and if that knob is pushed in, the truck's parking brake won't work. At least that is how it works on our M929A2's.
Lmfao I just started watching this guys channel today and I'm already laughing threw the first couple of mins because of there humor. This is what we need more of.

I’m really curious to see how that bearing looks. Here’s how I say it. A naked brand new Wheel bearing with no grease is like white toast, one that’s new with grease is like perfect toast, one that’s a newer bearing but has seen a couple miles is slighty burnt toast, one that’s definitely getting close to replacement is burnt toast, that trucks bearing… is so cooked that if I’m to compare it to bread, it’s toast that’s been reduced to ash.
Ohhh man! Feel bad for youse guys. One thing for sure, you KNOW how to fix it. Ain't nothing you caint handle. Just glad it didnt burn up. You're home on your property. Did enjoy the video and your dialogue. As always, you guys rock. Keep it rolling, rolling thunder!
This truck is turning in to a smoking deal...lol
Of coarse the dad jokes
You should take the motor from that and put it in a Dodge Charger😂
Nice fire truck
They grown ups so quick, it’s old enough to smoke now
LMFAO ..funney shit
When you buy a truck to help you finish your projects
But little did you know: The truck was the project all along
that truck is DEF gonna be a project to get functioning halfway correctly!!! shoot, make fixing IT a series!! lol
Use a beer can to cover that hole behind his head.
@@johnbuffum6135 lol i see that and im thinking...bullet hole that rusted away?
More like one of the projects

Well he did take it into deep water and I guess it was a long, long time ago someone grease packed those wheel bearings..
*Fire Extinguisher left the chat*.
*Dr. Pepper has entered the chat*.
lmao i lost my shit when he open that can
"How do you like your wheel bearings well done or extra crispy?"
Where’s the “I like mine black” option?
Flaming hot
red hot
i'd like to see the inside of that bearing once he replaces it
Smoking
The dollar general bit was hilarious 😂
It was comedy gold 🤣 😂 😆
I didn’t e en catch that part until reading it, must have had my ear plugs in?
Westen: We need content guys...
Also Westen: TO THE ARMY TRUCK!
Well, it worked out for them
I just want you to know...this is one of the best channels on youtube I have stumbled across lately. I love the saga of the 6x6 truck.
They slackin. When the channel started it offered more content.
@@ChicanoOne760if the channel is slackin, why are you here then?
Ole Dom was quick on the draw with the fire extinguisher! Great work, Dom!
Weston: "we're home free"
Dom 1 min later: "we're on fire"
Story of my life
Don't worry Westen, even though it's caught fire twice, and it's wheel is about to fall off, I'm sure it will buff right out!
Weston, you guys make some of the best content like this on TH-cam, and make my days 150% better 😊
I think my inbox caught on fire when this got uploaded
Wheel bearings need repacked with grease. Pound water in them. There not sealed..
True
Those trucks are designed so that water physically cannot get into anything besides the cab. If water has gotten in there, the seals are probably extremely worn or cracked.
@@Sitnased1 , friend of mine owens one. Every 10,000 miles he repacks them. There not sealed.. water can get in real easy.. have a good one buddy.
Buzz Buzz Honey I own 2 of them. They are sealed.

LOL I love that “or how I justified buying this truck” that is how I buy stuff
Western the day I found your videos was the start a great trend! You never fail to make me laugh out loud! Dom’s dry wit and his reactions are hilarious also! Great times!
"At least it made it home..." Yeah I've had a couple of those.
Dude you are so hitting a million subs this year. BRAVO!!!! Your videos keep me laughing!!! And today I really needed this. My shop build is on hold due to a gas line relocation, the flip car I got is not profitable, and my water heater is going out.... This was epic bro!!
Oh the car is flippable. You physically have to make it flip. Via using a catapult.
2:43 lol. Also the part where he stopped to pick up the candy🤣

I literally saw my notification from TH-cam about a video. Than I said “ I hope it’s a westen video” and here it was
“Don’t mind us we’re just catching our truck on fire”
Lmaoooo
Gotta say, I've really grown to enjoy Westens content. Been watching for quite a while and it just gets better.
I'd have to say the worst part of discovering your channel is I have tons of great videos to watch but eventually get caught up and then have to wait for you to put out more. Spoiled myself by binge watching your constantly and now have to wait for more.
Have a great day. 🙂
Same thing happened to me
I hope to see a hood exit exhaust on the mustang when it’s done
It’s westen
It’s gonna happen
True
have one of them raised hoods, and the back of it be the exhaust, goin all up from in front of the windshield
Careful what ya wish for ;-)

The truck that keeps on giving, It’s a blessing for us!
Doms roaming around somewhere singin " they call me the fireman that's my name"
Dark Days underrated 😂
Last time Dom moved that quick he was late for happy hour at Sonic.
Making my rounds all over town
Would love to see a make over of this truck.
Lol the heater got stuck on while you was gone. That was funny as heck 😂😂😂😂
I love those old 5 tons. Be cool if you got a 2.5 ton lmtv to keep her company.... mrap 3.09 diffs and swap the seats and you'll have a nice little daily driver.😁
Thanks for all the hard work Westen! We enjoy your videos!
Dom looks like the kid from Shrek Ever After that says “Do the roar”. Don’t judge me, I have kids.
He does.... wish youtube allowed pics in the comments...
But did the kids twist your arm and make you watch Shrek Ever After ?????
I just looked up that clip, and yes its true.
@@jamespooley6626
Then it is confirmed. Dom is indeed the kid from Shrek Ever After all grown up. What a nice young man he turned out to be. And so handsome.
Lol!
Yep had to go look too
It's fire just like this content 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Haha love it, "how's it look Dom?" "It's on fire!"
Hey from Arkansas i cant wait to see the Cummins mustang on the road
Arkansas hell ya
Small world . I'm from Arkansas too
I am to my guy it is a small world here
I’m from Jonesboro AR
SnowWolf_014 no shit I’m in mountain Home
Westen, you're the best youtuber hands down. Watching in York England. 👍👌
Sounded like the engine was coming apart in the end lol
MILITARY trucks are simple enough to work on. Thumbs up and thanks for sharing this experience, WOW'S!!! Well at least you didn't have a truck loaded up with gravel.
You guys are a walking calamity. Keep it up I love your videos!
Glad you guys got back safely and great promo for Doc P. “ great to drink and extinguish fires too” ha ha (don’t try it at home though folks!) stay alive and prosper boys!
That's the fastest I've seen u two move
* uses pressurized soda/beer to put out a fire *
*AMERICA 1 0 0*
"Murphy's law," is the name of that truck!
Great video! Kudos to your editor, nice storytelling skills.
The Marines are looking for a few good men, unfortunately you ain't it.....lmao🤣
I’m a mech for these trucks in the marine corps and I can say they act exactly like the average operator 🤣
I love how the guy simply throws open the door and jumps out of the still moving truck with a fire extinguisher. Badass
Keep submerging it in mud and water, I’m sure that’s good for the braking system and the wheel bearings.
@ true but it'd have lasted a little longer before breaking but then he'd have less $$views so i mean, maybe it was worth it?
The bearings are supposed to be sealed, normally no water would get in there. Otherwise going through a puddle would destroy the bearings.

@@0xsergy Army trucks need lots of maints.
Disappointed that Westen is not doing proper maintenance on his fleet. I enjoy watching him repair things - not tearing them up.
I mean, the truck is fire, when you first got it. Now it's LEGIT fire
Noticing the weightloss, Westen! Nice, man!!!!!
THIS GURL IS ON FIRE!!!!!
That army truck needs offical reocgnition, like a medal. It has survuved lots of battles in various wars and now, now it has to survive being owned by Westen!
Dom was getting all the action 😂
This channel is absolutely hilarious always makes me smile 😁
Well Westen let see the bearing when is off the army truck
Probably your most entertaining video yet. Nice work fellas
You’re awesome buddy!!!! My 9yr old son and I watch every video y’all upload and you inspire him to be a Diesel mechanic. He wants to build a Camaro with a Cummins LOL keep up the good work boys and I appreciate the videos and positivity you bring in our lives.
I'm not alone!!!!!! Two half-cans of Mello Yello put out the fire in my 85 Dodge Ram 50! Saved my ride!
What ever happened to the beautiful big blue peterbilt, and the 2019 Ram 2500 ?? I'm surprised you haven't been driving the peterbilt around.
Good way to get caught without a CDL

How can you not love westen he’s a legend love you guys
The new meaning to fire drill when it comes to a vehicle. 🤣
This was your funniest video to date!!!😂😂 Such a great channel. You guys are the best.
06:00 Saved by the Dr again
Would be awesome content of you fixing this thing. I can’t wait
It'll make you laugh and have a good day at everyday everyday it'll make you laugh and giggle on it Miguel's a good time all the time
Keep it going weston that is a well used freedom vehicle and needs some love no worries brother you got it time to put the love in it needs
12:34 is funny
"It's on fire!"-Dom. Who also takes 5 minutes to get out of the truck and get the fire extinguisher ready 😂😂😂
I think I just saw the “crack” of dawn!
Westen chill as ever as truck goes in flames, " Its probably fine. "
You going to the store to pick up some wasp spray and Westen bait. Grab me some bait to.
Hey Westen, I think I noticed that you were pushing that knob in on the dash like it was a parking brake. The truck parking brake is the lever to the right of the seat on the floor. The knob on the dash is for trailer brakes and if that knob is pushed in, the truck's parking brake won't work. At least that is how it works on our M929A2's.
Anyone else want to see a Diesel powered Honda Ridgeline truck?!!
Hell yes👨🔧
Dom and westin are awesome!!! 💪🏼😎
LOVE HIS SHOW PLEASE FINISH THE MUSTANGE AND BUILD A NOTHER SEMI TRUCK PLEASE :)
Sir. Its called the Smokestang.
I think you just get the best deals. I mean you will never run out of content for your channel haha love you guys. Y’all the best.
Oh snap
Lmfao I just started watching this guys channel today and I'm already laughing threw the first couple of mins because of there humor. This is what we need more of.

Oh yea, it isnt *on* fire, the truck is *inside the fire*
This is the by far the most entertaining youtube automotive channel.
Submerged the axles and didn’t pull apart the hubs to service them.
Glad y’all made it back in one piece! Love from good ole Okie bois

Dom jumping out of the truck with the fire extinguisher is the fastest I have ever seen him move 🤣
now you know what it's like to drive Army vehicles. always an adventure!!!
Using Dr pepper to put the fire out was the greatest thing ive ever seen! Yall are true mechanics
I’m so happy I found this channel. His videos are always awesome.
You guys are ABSOLUTELY crazy.... and i LOVE you for that. Greetings from Austria
Very funny stuff. It takes me back to the 60's when we had a shop with lots of mistakes.
I love watching these videos because it makes time fly by because it’s so entertaining
Ohhh man! Feel bad for youse guys. One thing for sure, you KNOW how to fix it. Ain't nothing you caint handle.
