I'm not sure, but I think the dingle arm on my truck has corroded badly. ???

Yeah, I was gonna put one of those on my truck but that would require removal of the schwamus valve from the gaffinger housing and we all know what happens when you do that!

I seen on the internet Ford was coming out with one of these next year.  But they redesigned it to use shim shrive selves rather that the standard grunion bearings and caused the girdle bearings to seize so that the dingle arm would not retract properly on full load.  That is the reason that most likely you are experiencing corrosion.

Another thing I read was that dingle arm corrosion some times can be prevented if you go to a hyper-synthetic systematic fluid such as PA6 or CJ9 but never use AX10 as viscosity issues seem to permeate the trunnion seals.  Also going with the change over to PA6 or CJ9 one needs to of course change both the erco bearings and shafts to the griperpolitin type with suggleton bushings.   I am sure I hardly need to tell you that.  Also do not forget to change out all seventeen micro filters.  This is also listed in the micro management service manual.  Vol 2 pages 713 through 9307 for complete micro management of your filter problems.

"change out all seventeen micro filters" - I just completed the change out and my truck is now running fine, but my cannibly pin seems to be a little off camber. Maybe I should change the frequency grease?
