Dingman's Build Thread

[Dingman.]

They are in.  Gonna take some measurements and then go build my drivelines

[84t0y]

looking sick man, those front shackles look really vertical in the pic what springs are you using now?

[IronClad]

i wonder if that bearing was the noise you were having with your tranny

[Dingman.]

Yea idk, that marlin clutch parts failed fast though. 

And allpro front springs mixed with tg.

x2 might have been

[Dingman.]

Well drivelines are done,  gonna go mount them, fill up my cases and go for a drive.. 

[84t0y]

im so jelly

[86bobbedtoy]

nothin like a midnight test drive

[Dingman.]

Theres some good ole drivelines,  gearing is nice but still stupid im having this problem

[86bobbedtoy]

I feel for you man,
links arent working for me,
wouldnt matter anyhow I dont know anything about duals
always thought, The last thing I need is another added part on my rig to break and need fixing.

rear diff? easy swap

I think you need 60s mike,
just cant figure out why you keep killin diffs
Only thing ican guess is the weight of a runner and large tires.
seems like scotty has killed a few also
maybe throw a tundra rear in there

I dont have money for any new axles.  Ive taken it really easy on this diff too. 

[86bobbedtoy]

swap the diffs out and wait,
as to the case problem, no clue here
someone should be able to point out the problem

[RockRescue]

   Now  right that down and tape it to your dash .  So when you get it fixed  and you are out wheeling next time    you can remember that you did not even want to touch your POS .

[IronClad]

case popping out would probably be a detent spring is worn out. you can just pull it out and stretch it a bit and put it back in.  Your shifters are doing that because either you didnt trim the rails or didnt trim them enough.

IMO anyway

[Dingman.]

I am gonna pull my rear case and cut it.

[Dingman.]

Another one bites the dust.

[IronClad]

mike i think its time for 1tons

[84t0y]

geez man you go through those like crazy build 14 bolts front and rear. would be badass.

[Peterbuilt84]

Damn dude, that sucks. Maybe get them heat treated and cryoed by bobby long next time? 

[86bobbedtoy]

your open rear right?

[Dingman.]

Yes that diff was open and setup to spec at my work.
The pattern was good, solid pinion spacer and setup everything to spec

[IronClad]

start putting them together tighter than spec ! and then maybe they will survive =P   toyota diffs like to survive when they are

[Thomas P]

  Im sorry Mikey....... You have 4 luck

I guesss you just like spending time in rear ends

[84t0y]

x2

[Dingman.]

Yea i dont know what im gonna do to be honest.  I dont know if i even want to buy another ring and pinion

[86bobbedtoy]

you gotta figure out why you keep killin diffs,
gatta be a reason, do you secretly do burn outs lol
whats wrong with running a stock 456 diff? your 456's right?

I really figured the reason i kept destroying them is because i bought a lot of them used, but this one was new gears, but used bearings that visually inspecting showed no signs of any extreme wear, as in no pitting, etc. And it was setup to spec.  

I have a stock 4.56 diff in my parts runner but i need to talk to kasey on when i can go grab it, this is what i will be running until i can figure out what im gonna do.  My thoughts are for about 150 i can have another set of 5.29s in my truck in under a week.  That will give me the option to go wheeling now, and i really want to go camping an , havent gone once this summer.

Yes i could chalk it up to vehicle mantianance that i have to spend about 200 every few months it seems like, and be done until octoberish..   but be able to go places now.

Or i can say f- it and run a stock 4.56 rear, have 2wd for a long time and starting saving for some axles i wont break.. or at least wont break as easily.

Matt came over today and helped pull my rear case, and trim both shift rails, no more problems with one case knocking the other one out.  Hopefully my cases will be trouble free for quite some time.  :fingerscrossed:


Thanks again Matt.
