Yeah, we were giving him a hard time for that frame when he scored it. Seems like he got it real cheap, tho.
I don't remember the ass being bobbed, tho....
Well, I would think that it would cause additional stress too, as the function of an open diff is to provided power away from excessive resistance. This keeps stuff from breaking, but allows for piss-poor traction. When you weld it, you're eliminating that resistance sensing condom....
I'm...
Actually, you would weld one gear, between two teeth, so that all the parts would move as normal, until the filled teeth encountered another spider, at which point they would bind and cause a lock. I have heard of people doing it, but I've never heard of long term results...
I can see how...
Hmmm, this sounds good. I have welded up a diff exactly as the tech section described.
Have you heard of just picking two teeth of a spider gear and welding them up? It gives you a bit of slop, but ultimately locks up. Have you heard how well this mod is holding up?
I think I'm gonna...
I know I could search for an answer to this question on other forums, but I think this question should be here for good info purposes, sooooo...
Have any of you ran a pig with a welded rear? When I ran my samurai, I welded the rear and locked the front. Aside from the tires chirping on...
That looks like great wheelin'. Good pics! I had no idea Montrose had such good trails. I may have to pop up there from Pagosa and give her a try. I think I need to lock my axles first tho...
This is 100% true, but I do not have an exhaust brake. I was expecting no help from the engine when braking down a hill for the same reason. But somehow it just works. I've been trying to figure this mystery out ever since
I discovered it...
True enough, true enough. However, the...
I would like some stock height springs built to handle the additional weight of my engine. Last thing I want is more height... I gotta save my duckets tho. Pretty much blown my wad for now. My stock springs are gonna have to last a while.
Hmmmm, that's a good point. I wonder if I have a short in the rear door that is somehow feeding power to the whole rear window system while it's active?
Well, I could return the point that you don't need gears when you've got a diesel's low-end torque. I have 2.67:1 tcase gearing, 4.10:1 axles, and 35" sx's, and I crawl a lot slower than these rigs running around with 4.7:1 tcases. I can idle over stuff that gassers need 4000-6000 rpms to get...
I stuffed a '90 Cummins 6BT into my pig. You don't have to chop the firewall on one, but an intercooler is out of the question (without a buttload of chopping, anyway). A link to my buildup in is my signature if you're interested...
