I'm rebuilding the dana 300 from my Jeep. The t-case/tranny adapter came with a sealed bearing for the input shaft to replace the input shaft seal should I run into clearance problems and have to remove the seal. Well, it turns out there are no clearance problems, and I am left to decide between using the sealed bearing and using the bearing and seal that came in the rebuild kit. I really have no ideas of the pros and cons of the two types of bearings. I think I read somewhere that trailering a Jeep starves the t-case input shaft bearing and seal of oil. Would installing a sealed bearing allow for trailering w/o pulling the driveshaft? Or would the sealed bearing not last as long as the oem style with normal driving? I do not plan to do alot of trailering now that my Jeep will be reliable on the road, but hey, you never know. Any suggestions?
