So I ordered a set of fender mirrors and I want to plug the holes in the door. Anyone have a good temp solution. I want to eventually fill with...
OK, got the diff back. 100 bucks for them to swap the flange and reset the gears. New diff is in and we are rolling. New gearing is really nice. I...
Thats cool! I ran the gears through a calculator and with my 14's it should be cruising @ 65 nicely. I got the rear diff in, axles on and brakes...
Painted up the backing plate on my axels. [IMG]
I found a guy down the street that will swap the carriers for 75 bucks but after looking at the diffs they have different gear ratios. The welded...
30 on the rear axles. I gave up on trying to drill the flange. I think I'll just move the good gears from new housing into the original on. I...
Yeah I had no idea it was welded. The truck always drove like shit but I initially attributed it to the ball joints, tie rods, etc.. Once I got...

So... the old diff is welded. Could that be my problem?
I'm starting to think it's my brakes. I'm gonna do both axel bearing and seals, get new shoes and go back to the original diff.
So no chunks came out at all, just particles which I'm learning is normal ish? When I get home today i'll take some pictures of the internals. I'm...
I'm drilling the flange. Wish me luck boys.
Realized I have the long ass stud so that shouldn't be a problem. Now my only problem is the flange. The bolt holding the flange on it labeled as...
Ok so problem. Looks like the diff I have is not an exact match for what was on there. First thing is one of the studs is not accessible (see...
Cool. Noticed both the hub bearings have play. I've got a replacement set from Marlin for one side. Might try to tackle that as well.
I pulled the rear axles and I noticed some damage to the axel splines. Should I be worried about that? Is it worth trying to clean up? I've got...
Do I have to pull the shaft from the tranny side? Can I just unbolt the 3rd member and support the shaft with a chain?
Sounds good. I've got a recessed/magnetic bolt on the fill but I should get one for the drain as well.
So my truck has been shuddering real bad when in reverse and full lock turning. Tires on the rear are getting torn up as well. I checked the oil...
Pretty close to 90 degrees, it feels a whole lot more stable right now. Still a little slop but I imagine the idler and pitman arm will clear that...
