@@lizardmangarage it held up nicely. Even with me beating on it a few times to see if I could break it. Of course tight parking and turns is almost impossible. But with a big hot welder a welded diff could last a while
tinfoil over the ring gear, then duct tape saved mine and I welded that shit in the housing, less work is always a win.... and at the point you were at, my question is... why did you not use a C-clip eliminator kit??? hate it when an axel and wheel leave that chat together and pass ya bouncing merrily along....
great thorough video how lng did it hold up that way im considering using a plate but gotta save every penny on my 82 caprice classic

How did it hold up
Never cracked or broke a weld…from my experience and inspection 😂
👍
Now is this what they mean by locking rear deferential, especially for drag cars, being they are just striaght running, no turn vehicles.
Heck yeah

We need a update bro
Gotcha. Video dropping tomorrow. Hopefully no one stole my ups packages while I was out today. 😆
Did you weld both sides of the spider gears?
Sure did. All the way around
@@AndrewsMotorWorks and the axle shafts were able to slide in and out easy?
@@burnoutgarage8559 to my surprise- yes. I thought the extreme heat would warp the unit, but I had a back up rear.
@@AndrewsMotorWorkswas it a c lock with a clip?

@@evelkoloski it was “just to do it” type of thing. The truck would have gotten a 9inch rear later on.
@@AndrewsMotorWorks 100% Just did it to a 10 bolt 7.5 26 spline deal in my monza... till it breaks she be good enuff!
