Captain Obvious drove his truck to work today. Powered by ther rear wheels. J/K ya Garrett hope ya get her fixed. Did ya salvage the Detroit? Hope so. Talk at ya later.

 

I picked up another Detroit locker and a set of Yukon axles.. supposed to be 30% stronger than stock.
Its all I can do right now.

 

Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

Sorry to see the carnage Bobcat, that was some wicked bounce and one heck of a hole shot, go easy on her...

 

lets see, you had motor issues (cylinder walls) a broken tranny, then transfer case and drive shafts, now axles...just think, all you have left is the front hubs, pinion and carrier to upgrade and you should be about bullet proof all the way thru.

although i hope you dont break all that. i have no room to talk...i still havent pulled the head off my truck to get ringed and studded

 

You'll be allright. Just be a little easier on her. C-ya.

 

Just an update:
Here is a picture of one of the new shafts, after 3 hooks with NO hopping..

 

That's what they call "preload", it'll be ok.

Never take them out and look at them before they break!!!

 

Why NOT? Last time I did that it cost me a detroit locker! $$$

Got 2 new ones on the way though.

 

LOL I'm just ribbin ya. Hey, if the made a stout enough rear end with a clear housing I'd buy it. So you lost the locker? That stinks. Are those the dually axles you just put in? You getting another set or stepping up to heavy ones and spools?

 

Yep, these are axles out of the dually rearend.

I already put a new detroit locker in as I like the streetability of them.

 

You might want to try the haisley roll and block the suspension or I have had good luck with airbags.

 

Yeah the Timbrens are definately a source of Hoppage.

I have had NO issues whatsoever with hopping when I hang weights off the front, though.

 

I have never heard it called that but I have heard it described a few times.

 

ya you think the truck is running like crap or the driver doesnt know how to drive then about the 75' mark you change your mind in a hurry.

 

Garrett,
I never hopped with my Timbrens...I wonder why? Of course they are on reserve duty now. Blocks baby!!
