kinda curious about the rest of the drivetrain? i run 36's spool and 5.29,s for the last few years and had no problems....not tryin to be a di*k but do you beat the hell out of the thing? and who set up the gears...my friend runs 38" swampers w/5.29 and detroits, was a daily driver for 3 years and hard wheeler (30 min from the hammers) he never broke anything.
ok. driveline. I have a 2,4 liter diesel toy. with a turbo and an intercooler. I have duals with 2.28. I was running 5.71 with arbīs front and rear, and a full floating rear. (frontrange offroad) and I am running a set of 39,5" trxxus
Of course I beat the hell out of that truck.... My usually wheeling trips are when other peoble stay home or someone broke something in theyr truck. last trip I towed a nissan patrol (heavy ass truck) took me over 16 hours to get that thing home. so yes I use my truck.
But. last diff that broke was set up about 2 years from now. that one I broke the arb locker housing. I was so sure that it was the diff that I took the truck to a shop that set up the diff in the first time. When he told me that the arb was busted I brought him this diff, and told him that it has a detroid and he should check it out.
when I picked up the truck he told me that he just dropped the 3rd in there.
so bottom line the second diff was no big surprice.
I was just a litle pissed cause if I have destroied that locker as well I have not a single locker left, and running something else than a 100% locker is just not working for me.
Probably the one thing that scares me is what about the broken arb housing. is that some one time fluke or ?
about the 4.88 or 4.10 I have a 350 chevy sitting in the garage waiting for a change to drop in there. also waiting is a set of 44" richard cepecs.....
to be honest I wanna stick with the 8" toy. for now cause my bank account wount stand all the axle swapping as well.
