Beard, you wouldn't happen to have that driverside half shaft laying around still would you?

 

hmm, gracias, because i just replaced a CV, it didnt look any different?... i guess i should have read over the instructions when i got the truck back

i have the paper instructions sitting in my garage , ill go look

 

IIRC, your PVH hubs dont use a spacer.



i jus put new coils on my coilovers. hypercoils will not sag. $116 thanks and have a good day



beard, thanks for the pic, thats perfect. pretty much exactly how im gonna gusset mine.

 

thanks gumby. i wasn't sure

 

I was just going by what you posted or IM'd me about one time. You figured a price of $700 to replace them. Must have been to replace the entire coil over on each side then?

 

no man i sold the whole thing CVs diff etc, i have 0 stock front end parts.

 

i stated $500 each to replace the complete unit, yessir.

 

draggin this back up. i have gotten a few requests for pics of my gusseted diff bracket, so i grabbed a couple today.





best i can tell from the pics of the broken units, the bracket must be flexin a small amount across the large span from the three bolts to the mount pickup. since the middle bolt hole is so close to the edge, this area becomes the breakin point after the metal has fatigued.
a single gusset from the top brake, across the large span, and down past the middle bolt hole should significantly reduce the flex in the bracket.

i wont be able to follow up with any type of performance review as the kit has been sold and will be delivered this weekend. hopefully the new owner will let yous know how this diff bracket performs.

 

Thats funny (and as true as the sky is blue)!!!

 

very nice gumby..i need to take mine off and do that..

nice welds too!!

 

skanks!

 

What did you weld that with? Thats noice!

 

thats TIG..dunno what kind of machine..miller maybe..high amps..filler rod..hmmm..pretty!

 

those welds i did with a lincoln 275 square wave TIG, and er80s-d2 filler.

we also have a couple really old school millers. i dunno how old they even are, or model numbers, but they weld awesome as well.

each machine welds a lil different, not better or worse, jus different. i use whichever is closest/easiest to the part im workin on

 

heyy thanks for the gussets!

 

they need more abuse then crawling speed bumps to break

haha jk man, thanks for the pics Gumby, when i get my new one ill take it to a welding shop and have it braced like that

did you ever have it on the truck? are you sure it will clear the sub frame?

 

nope.

yes im as sure as i can be w/o actually installing it. if you look at all the pics in this thread you can see a clear path right thru where the gusset is

 

That gusset looks just like the superlift one so there should be clearance issues with it.

 

thanks chad!

 

this is the type of thread that I'm here for
