I'm trying to sell my truck so I'd rather not put any money into it. But do you think I could weld new perches on at the correct angle and not abuse it till I sell this pig? That would make more sense than getting a new axle. I tried to spin the pinion back with a chain wrapped around the...
The pinion is point up roughly 15 degrees give or take a degree. Or two.. But I don't know how well you can tell but the perches are rounded fairly significantly actually. Don't think this would cause the pinion angle to still be so severe. Probably doesn't help either
I understand what your saying but the way I'm picturing it. The pinion would be deflected down and the tubes then spun inside the differential. As the axle wrap twisted the axle back up the pinion had shifted up. At least that's how I see it.
I would think if I broke the perch welds I would...
Yeahhh I know I know.. The driveshaft needs a new yoke welded on because it got so banged up. So I'll get a new u joint when that's done. This u joint is only a couple days old from the last time I lost my driveshaft. Can't thank all of you on this page for your help and patience!!
I can pick up a ten bolt for 100. I doubt it hurt the locker. I'm just in doubt about biting the bullet and buying a new axle. Idk this kind of **** really sucks when moneys already so tight
I have a locker in it and when i put the axle in probably 4, 5 months ago the internals on the pumpkin were mint. Obviously fresh fluid, axle bearings and seals. I'm afraid to drive it into the bigger city north of me to go to a 4wd shop. Each time i lost my driveshaft before i was close enough...
Should i try to bring it back down or drive it like it is then try to pull it down before i have a buddy try to weld it? I'd rather not get a new ten bolt as i have around 500 invested in this one. But they are cheap. Again i'm just not convinced its spun none of the plug welds are broke, the...
I'd like to if it will help. But I'm afraid there's a bigger issue than putting the blocks in ass backwards. Bucket said i believe that the blocks were installed correctly as in the rear being taller. So there should be no reason why the pinion is angled so high in relation to the driveshaft. It...
My dad places his magnetic level on the fridge and i don't think its ever been used, but its broke because its constantly getting knocked off. So I can't put a level to it. I have no axle to compare it to either. But should i try to fix the angle with a jack or leave it seeing i can't get it...
They are one piece blocks and they have been on the truck as long as I've owned it. They were on the old axle and on this one. Should I try to rotate the center section back even if I can't weld it at my house? The plug welds don't look broken. The tubes seem parallel. They don't look spun. I...
It's a 200 horse 350 I don't know I find it hard to believe I spun the Center section. I understand the angle is built into the blocks but if I put them in backwards it would cause the excessive angle. If I flipped them around so the taller end was in the front it would lower the pinion angle.
