Another thought...

These newer slack adjusters sometimes do not like thicker / tackier grease...If you see what factory fill or spec is, its a softer / thinner type grade....I would describe as like John Deere cornhead grease or Vaseline or even like Lubriplate assembly lube ( like white lithium ) ...

anyhow, if that grease is too thick and if its really cold where you are at ( which I am guessing you are ) , or both....maybe those adjusters are not working properly.....
maybe, loosen that side, say like 2 or 3 flats, and see if you can run longer, like maybe 2 hours, it would tell you that you are going the right direction.

That said and done, it does not reason why your right side is not acting up, unless something had been repaired on just one side....meaning the left only.

more darts....

Please let us know what you find...if you would, I would sure like to know.
