I disagree with you there. Manufactures put enough in it to last till warranty is off , that's it. Less grease means more money in there pocket. I don't check bearings. I've had 2 factory ones go and then I take off and fill with grease. On my semi 1 tube in every hub. Bearings backed and cap full. Hasn't failed yet.
I know some large trucking companies that buy new trailer, yank all the hubs, pour out the oil and add grease like I do. They got so sick of leaking seals, like this problem almost eliminated.
I have no problems at all with seals going out. And anybody that thinks the bearing doesn't get warm enough for the grease to melt Has never stopped and check the temp of the bearings after a 4 hour drive in 100 degree weather. My grease gun leaks hanging on the wall outside with the sun shining on it. Doesn't even need to be in a bearing and it runs. Try it sometime. even in a shop with window. Set a thermometer down beside and see at what temp it starts to level off.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
