more ****
replaced radiator today but also broke driver side carrier bearing... going to ditch the 9 before tcc
what the hell are you doing to these 9in's? You shouldn't be having that many problems if you're setting them up right
he is reusing the same housing each time, right? Could it be bent?Quote:

I really don't think I'd swap out the 9", get a decent third member setup and I think you would be far better off.
Yeah the pinion spacer and the shims are the way to setup up a 9inch pinion. The crush sleeve is junk.Quote:

Every person ive known who runs a 9inch has always been pleased with it whether in a race car or an offroad rig, i guess lurch just doesnt have good luck with em. Cook if you can get that sterling for cheap i say just go ahead and swap it.
hot rod is putting one in their 1500hp camaro. im pretty sure they are adequate for this truck.
Its not the Hp that breaks stuff its the torque. It could be 1500hp and 1 ftlb and not break a shaft the size of a pencil.Quote:

I bet the F-bomb's engine only makes 1 ft-lb, Mike you're a fag. :flipoff2:

ryans bike hauls ass, and has no brakes.
and robbie loves wheelies!

too fast for that ****ty of a bike
gonna have to shorten the driveshaft?
yes you always have to shorten the driveshaft, since the sterling pinion is so fawking long
Shoulda used a 14 bolt then you wouldnt have to.
ah well hopefully you wont break **** this time
took it to 47 today. no problems.
my alternator took a **** the other day. found a good page for info. apparently you are supposed to use a resistor in the L circuit if there is no charging lamp. sharpe and frick, this may be why your cs144s **** up so often.
i got a new one and installed it the way this page says to do it. there is alot of info on it

Mine's fine, it hooked up to the factory chevy wiring no problemo. I attribute the death of the one in Clayton to the massive amounts of mud flung on it at the redneck games.

some crap that got built today
That table got a metal plate on it? That trac bar looks hella stout, now ya just got to get some real tires to test it out. :gigem:
it looks like a gorilla traction bar
it may not bend but I bet you will crack the welds down at the end
i cut the bumper down. going to start gathering parts for a 60 swap.
I've looked at pictures of ryans and i suppose im going to do something similar with generic chevy 1/2 ton rear leaf springs. i'll make the rear brackets if i can't find the ones that everyone uses for cheap.
anyone know someone that needs some d 44s?
i'm going to cut the bumper off while building the front cross member. just figure out what to do with it afterwards.
the 35s hit on this piece of the bed already, so with 40s it'll be worse. i guess im gonna move the rear axle back and gain departure clearance or cut and move the the piece of sq tube. my wb is already 117". im not sure i want it longer.
how much would the WB change if you flipped your springs around? If your springs are like mine you could flip them around to gain some wheelbase, and gain alot of departure angle.
i may know someone interested in those or one of those axles. how much do you want for them or just one
what d44 gears?
both have 3.50s. i want at least 300 for both of them.
the cheby is sitting right at 119.5 IIRC. Don't know if that helps or not.
forgot that i could do that. does doing so have any ill effects on the springs?Quote:

people on fullsize say you run the risk of breaking the front spring eye, but i have no evidence to prove this. You will gain like 7 inches of wheel base i believe
