DTB · « **Reply #521 on:** Jun 01, 2007, 01:11:51 PM »

soo help please....Im trying to bolt my driveshafts up and the patterns dont match..

I have this silly chain driven case

from what i can tell if i switch the companion flanges on the case front to back the patterns match? Are these interchangable? I am concerned about the seals and spline engagement...Im pretty sure they are the same spline count but not sure.....I know the rear is a 27mm nut on the flange and the front is 30 mm...any chain driven gurus here lol ?? sorry for all the questions Im a tcase and driveshaft newbie trying to learn!

alwayzbroken · « **Reply #522 on:** Jun 01, 2007, 01:13:28 PM »

On gear driven trucks they match, so do the axle flange and t-case flanges

I'm Glad all of that hard work is starting to pay off for you.

Well no wonder its so close you can smell it, Youve done the ol asstits mod.

Soo ya I kinda ran into a snag with my drivelines..... I'm pretty sure High Angle put a different (bigger) CV on the rear shaft and the yoke is way to big to drill on the carrier bearing flange So they have to fix that.

Stupid carrier bearing...I wish I had gone ahead and done dual cases now but whatever...ALSO I have to send the intermediate shaft and carrier bearing back with the rear shaft to get them all balanced as one.. I'm not sure if this is my fault but I dont think it is..I had 2 conversations with them before they started work so they should have gotten all the needed info..they knew I had a carrier bearing in the rear

Am I to be expected to pay the shipping back to California? what do you guys think? Oh well, heres some random pictures to tide the masses over.

I damaged the thin recirculating tube for the balls with the sector shaft when reassembling the steering box (which apparently is a more common mistake than I thought) Then I started on a different box and realized that it was an earlier model box so I gave in and just had one tapped and rebuilt with all new seals and bearings from PSC. A friend who wants to see my truck rolling hooked me up with a nice deal on that (thanks again, Victor)

What is a project without smashed fingers?

trying to peek out of the garage

My final hack job on the body/radiator mount...not too excessive

A boo-boo I need to fix...I ran out of teenage mutant ninja turtle band-aids so i had to use duct tape

Wermz84 · « **Reply #537 on:** Jun 09, 2007, 04:45:14 PM »

Yes, time to play.

Just digging through yer thread i forget.

Did you use IFS hubs? or just the regular SA hubs and spacers?

Did you have any problems with the castle nuts on the hi-steer?
