53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

Too bad for the extra costs Marc, but now you know it lasts a lifetime!

Back in the old times when I was still at work at big trucks (MB), I did a few axles. We had special tools to set the ring and pignion and set the bearings at the right tension, also colored the theeth of the ring to see if it made the right contact area on the pignon.
Looks like today is all about swapping axles in those big companies.

In short... I respect that you do your own axle, it isn't that easy!
