Applications
Tech Note 1: Pickups with HO Cummins Diesel
TK11821 will NOT work on 2019-up RAM 3500 PICKUPS WITH the HIGH OUTPUT CUMMINS DIESEL. Use TK11832 Seal if you have a HO Cummins.
Tech Note 2: Lubrication
Under operating conditions, the rear wheel bearings are bathed in oil from the differential, but they do need to be pre-lubricated to provide initial lubrication.
Tech Note 3: Oil Bath Seal
TK11821 is a unitized Oil Bath type rear wheel seal. The rotating sealing surface is inside the seal. Both the ID of the seal is a tight fit on the spindle and the OD is a press fit in the wheel hub. In operation the outer portion of the seal rotates around the inside component. Oil Bath wheel seals can be easily damaged during installation by make-shift or wrong tooling. For best results, I strongly recommend you use optional QT1558 Wheel Seal Installer and either QT1100 1"or QT1116 1-1/4" diameter Driver Handles.
Tech Note 4: Axle Vent
Many wheel seal leaks are caused by pressure building in the axle due to a clogged axle vent system. Always check and clear the vent system. Other common causes of leaking seals include improper wheel bearing adjustment, poor installation techniques (See Tech Note 3), and damaged spindle surface or hub bore.
