Some of us have been wanting to know at what temperature should
our front and rear bearings run at?

Maybe we don't really need to know the temperature, just if it is different.
My dad pushed an 18 wheeler for years and he had installed temp sensors in
both differentials, the transmission, engine oil and radiator. First trip
out and once everything was up to temperature he marked the position of the
needle on each gauge. That way he could see at a glance if any had moved
from their "normal" position. And, When I started working for Alaska
Airlines the first time a 727-100 came in for maintenance I was inspecting
the cockpit. Noticed all the gauges were turned. Asked the Engineer what the
deal was. He explained that once the engine comes up to temperature they
turn the gauges so that the needle points straight up. That way "normal" is
straight up and any change stands out. Just a different way of do it.
