Did you have any shavings in the oil? That'd be an indication of whether something wasn't right or not.

 

the fluid was fairley dirty for just putting it in a couple days ago. worse then i expected. although the axle has been sitting for a LONG time. its all flushed now tho

i got someone to hop in my truck when i put it in the air. the whole dam axle twist. i feel like i just gonna rip the u bolts right off. they are plenty tight so i donno. ladder bars maybe...
well i got it all back together and it still does it. o well
i no the gears and everything is set up right tho so i guess it was worth it. im just gonna keep driving it till it breaks i guess.

no shavings kyle. i checked for that first. no bad wear marks on the gears either.

 

do you have stacked blocks?

 

heck no. i have the stock one and i cant stand that. i wish i had no block.

 

your whole axle shouldn't move something is wrong maybe get some traction bars to see if it helps

 

evan are the springs moving too? maybe we have the pinion angle off? ill take a look at it this weekend, although I have never had an issue with it before.

how tight are those ubolts? 100ft lbs?

 

THE LOCKER IS FINE. you will break an axle shaft before you break the locker.

 

there right around 100 zach. i didnt use a torque wrench. i just hope i can find a trailer just incase.

 

ill take you home if you break. you can drive blue to your house then.

 

What if you both break haha

 

trying to find a trailer for a full size axle sucks.
i have one i can use but its onlu 77in wide. its gonna be very close fit. i need to remeasure my tire width. i think im at 77 exactly. how wide is ur trailer zach?

you always drive on right? backing on will put most the weight in the rear which is not good correct?

 

lol well that will be some crappy luck

 

then ill leave one and go back and get it. doesnt matter to me. lol

my truck is 80 inches wide our trailer is 81-82 inches wide.

i drive on.

 

depends on what the Tong load of the trailer is supposed to be.. sometimes it helps other times man it makes it ride like crap...


wish my trailer wasnt put away for storage i would just trailer mine up...

 

ya. i have one last hope for a trailer i gotta go measure after work. if its not wide enough then i guess im driving. the guy uses it for his bobcar and there is still room on both sides with that on so i donno. it will be close.
