    211750-1X is a Spicer part that is essentially a Toyota OEM part, even has a Toyota part number stamped into it- as best I know it’s still the case, may have changed

    Chances are if your burning them up you’ve got other reasons contributing- either too much angle from the driveshaft putting stress on it, or what I’ve noticed, if you shim the carrier bearing down it throws off the angle and burns them up faster

    I would think too much lift.....or rear axle wrap...

    what's the condition of your rear leaf's and shackles ...

    has the truck been lifted..

    AT or MT....what's the condition of the transmission mount?

    Any chance your motor mounts are shot...

    How many miles on it....


    that carrier has slight adjustability ....where did that slot end up....are you right in the middle of it at mid-way...

    How are you installing them? Following the correct torque procedure in the FSM, etc? There is also a section about aligning the carrier bearing to be perpendicular to the DS- have you checked that?
