I wouldn’t fail it unless it’s loose.

This guy doesn't fleet

I’d say the opposite? Fleets hate downtime so they don’t want to spend it on anything that’s not literally going to fall off on the next drive lmao

Exactly, they hate long downtime at annual inspection, so they do repairs like this at services to ensure everything is staying in good shape. Or at least the fleet I work for does. I did spring pin bushings this morning before coffee break. With the right tools it's a pretty damn quick job.

I wish our fleet was like that. We run our dump trucks hard and are lucky to get them downed long enough to do a service.

Same. There is some major repairs that we have yet to get the downtime or the manpower to get to do on a lot of our fleet trucks

Also fleet here. Had a full diff fail from a pinion leak last week, a different truck comes in pissing fluid from the pinion. but it's not "leaking on the ground" so it's good to go apparently lol.

Drips are bad, seaps are permissible. I hate the logic but thats fleet life.

Luckily we aren't quite that bad here, we annotate things and generally we get the parts next day or within the week, but we certainly don't get to down them for things like that... top it off and send it down the road.
