I just saw some when lookin for torque wrenches for cox, and that is about right on the price. May be able to get them off the snap-on truck a little cheaper if you are a "good" customer.

While we are on the subject of axles, what center do the hummers use. I know where one is sitting, and was thinking of going to get it and tear it apart for informational purposes.

I don't know if its true or not, but I heard they use AMC20 centers.

should I run a locker in the back, or weld it? I had planned on welding it, but I keep reading that a welded rear and a link suspension causes alot of handling issues.

And as far as lockers go, does anyone know much about whats available for the D70? I have found lockrights, detriots, and selectable lockers like ARB. Right now I'm trying to figure something out about the D70. It appears that there are 2 versions available for the 35 spline shafts, one is a full case, the other is like a 14 bolt detriot and reuses the old case. The only thing I can't find info on is if you can only use certian ones in certian D70s, or if its your choice on which one you want to use.

this is true the only difference is the gears are heat treated differently, I was told this by a hummer tech while I was pickin' parts up for ours. that makes me wonder, the alpha had a selectable locker option wonder what it is, an e-locker like the h2's or a arb type deal.

Would they be using reverse cut gears due to the portals?

I didn't notice any funny handling issues when I linked the rear. I did notice that the tires did more of a squeal in turns instead of the chirping with the leafs.

Would they be using reverse cut gears due to the portals?

reverse cut has nothing to do with the rotation, the pinion is still on the same side and rotates the same direction( except in this app. where the whole thing is flipped putting the pinion on the opposite side) , It should be called reverse spiral, it is the opposite angle of the gear mesh making the tow side the drive side instead of the heal side like in most low pinion fronts.

[agjohn02]

you mean the coast side is actually the coast side and the drive side is actually the drive side?

[tigweld]

coast and drive are relative to which end f/r right?, heal toe seems more fitting but yes if you wanna look at it like that

[agjohn02]

the concave side is always called the coast side and the convex side is the drive. toe and heel refer to the inside (ID of the ring gear) and outside(OD of the ring gear) of the tooth respectively. root and top land are the top and bottom of the tooth as viewed from a profile view of the tooth itself.
