@sdmann posted:Let me add one more thing. The early diesels, 2007 to 2012 used a low quality grease that gets hard over time. My suggest to anyone is to clean out their gearboxes and put some nice new, Marine Grade Moly Grease. We now supply the grease to the factory for these to avoid this issue.
There was a gearbox change when we made the SD79 project in 2015. We've been using that gearbox ever since. In 2017 we starting using ball bearing axle ends which greatly improved performance and reduced friction from the past productions. I think the design is now sufficiently tuned up for our future Diesel projects, so we go with what works.
Nice to read the feedback.
Oh no! Not that crappy grease found in Weaver models diesels back in 2008-2010!
