I was gonna hold off on gettin the 60 in.....but wheeled some priveate stuff today and 10 minutes in........

hopefully this will stop happening

 

Stop breaking things

 

so is it all in good shape? still fluid in the diff? bearings? looks like you have a few long nights in the garage now.

 

no fluid in it, all the bearings looked good, everything dissassembled good. Gonna replace the ball joints, ujoints and the calipers. But most everything was is in good shape.

heres the pinion that was in it

 

that is weird. Did the bearing seize up or is it from a wreck? Never seen one break like that.

i think it got hit on the yoke and snapped?????

Their was no damage to the outer bearing on the pinion or to the housing. Hell the seal itself really didn't even look damaged.

 

:woot:

sweet!!

 

Heres my RR shaft out of the truggy from this past weekend.....looks like the splines on the shaft and the splines in the spider didn't have full contact? The shaft would spin underload seperate of the spider. Splines are not twisted but smooshed

 

Wow!


Nice 60 !:thumb:

 

Got a bunch of the small stuff ready to install, also ordered my front gears and my new set of rims.

 

got the 14 bolt home. I think i may have gotten the last set of 5.38 gears in the freaking country lol. I called atleast 10 vendors today from all over the country and got the same answers.....They are back ordered till Sept. But found a guy off pirate who said he had a few sets on the shelf.

Also got a bunch of grinding on the 60 done and made sure the 15" rims fit on the 14 bolt. I have a little of grinding to do on the front 60 brake parts but not much. The 95 D60 brakes are a bit smaller then the 94 and older brakes.

 

4 sets on ebay last night :teehee:

 

yep then you purchase them and then you never get them cause they were never on the shelf to have them drop shipped oke:









Sold my beadlocks today only had like three runs on em lol

 

That is the result from Greenville isn't it? Haha...What a bad day for wheeling! 2 Rigs busted with in 10 minutes.

 

yes

 

14 bolt is bolted into the truggy, i haven't received any of my parts yet that were ordered so still playing the waiting game

 

i fixed my tierod link issue i was having that day.....
1 1/4 X 9/32nd wall DOM with 3/4 hiems....Shouldn't bend now! haha

Hope to see you back out at Roger's when your all fixed up!

 

Should have my

14 bolt gears tomorrow
d60 gears?? maybe tomorrow but have no idea i got no tracking number
D60 yoke kit and seals Thurs? possibly
14 bolt crush sleeves Thurs? possibly

Have to admit the 14 bolt diff cover is like paper thin. Gonna get one of those to lol. Still need to get front axle joints.

Got the Left side of the pig trimmed on the 60 to gain another 1.5" of Tube to attach the susp. bracket. Welded the tube to the pig where i cut it. Hopefully tomorrow evening i can get the 44 out and mock up the 60 housing to figure out where to burn the susp. brackets to. Then dissassmeble the 14 bolt and get that stuff cleaned up.

oh and i have to put a fuel pump in dads eb and try and get the toe sleeve to adjust.

 

The D60 gears are "out for delivery" which is means they are usually here by 11am and i haven't seen them yet.....???????

And i just ordered my d60 lock right...guy says it will ship today (i verified he had them or they were available) $330 to my door

So i got the 14B carrier back in the housing at home....got the pinion assm assembled and the crush sleeve and preload set (what a PITA). So when i get home i'll install that and set the gears up.

Yesterday i got the 60 housing installed and the brackets burned to the housing then removed the housing from the truck so i can set those gears up when they come in.

 

Wpwp oke:

 

What a shitty day

Went to work to get the pinion bearings, ended up damaging them and had to buy new ones.

Get home and put together the front axle to get the gear pattern right, had to buy a new pinion nut as the old one was MIA. Everything went together fine but when i went to take the nut back off it ate the last 4 threads of the pinion and the but destroyed itself. So i need to clean those threads and get a new nut (again).

Trying to get my wheels to clear my front brakes......I don't think they will. I don't think theirs gonna be enough material left over to stop the truck :fish: If had gotten rims with 2" BS i think i would of been fine. But my rims have 4" BS and are causing nothing but problems.

And i stood up into a nail in the garage and carved the shit out of my back from it.

the 14

where the 60 is at right now

 

Looks Good ! :thumb:













opcorn:

 

finally got around to taking the 9" apart that had the broken mini spool

 

Lug Nuts are stupid expensive

Called a few vendors and it was like $1.19-1.49 each..........i need 32

LKQ if you actually pay for them instead of stealing them they want like $1 each

But i just bought some off ebay....$22.50 total to my door $0.70 each.

 

that is stupid expensive

 

sits a little wide in order to clear

My Trac bar angle blows nuts, gonna need to fix that

Should have the front locker monday and then i just need to buy some brake hoses for the front and that pretty much wraps up that. The rear needs the brakes dissassembled and new lines and that pretty much wraps up the swap. Hoping to wheel in next weekend :woot:
