Hitting deer and 4:56 gears

madmanadam said:
Randy's is having gears shipped over night to them and hopefully Wed it will be done.

Randy's will take care of me and they just don't want to do something that will break. I told them up front that I raced this truck and I use n2o.

I do a lot of reading on this forum and some time the posts get side tracked and the information is sometime tough to figure out.

I thought this is a friendly site and sharing was part of it.
How about some NW luv:dontknow:

I apologize if i came off like a total ass, I'm just a sarcastic, blunt person. And I honestly would've thought a company that does that many rear ends would've been able to figure out what it needed without problem, and assume you did to since that's where you took it. From my research these rear ends use the normal dana 60 carrier and gear sets. What screws us over is that our axles(which are the bigger 35spline thankfully) are held in by c clips instead of a bearing retainer like a normal 60. I have found out that some fords also used c clips and I'm trying to track down a locker of some kind to get rid of the limited slip.

You mean like this ARB Air Locker Dana 60hd C-clip 35 Spline 4.56 & Up (RD168) or this http://www.drivetrainamerica.com/p-...r-dana-60-35-spline-410-down.aspx?cagpspn=pla ?

Exactly, but I'm cheap so the next time I break the carrier ill probably just break out the welder and go nuts on it:chain: got a feeling ill be able to build a dana 60 in my sleep before too long, I swear the rear end in my 38k mile truck looks like a 250k mile truck:eek:

Consistent mid 11 second passes, in a 5000# vehicle, will do that. :burnout:

Did you happen to look at spools? They are cheap! :D

Looked at them but can't find any to work with c clip axles. Hopefully soon it'll be consistent high 10 second passes. And it's 4700lbs thank you very much:aetsch:
 
For all that is wanting to know all is well and gears are in, no play for 500 miles, but thats just fine.
I got JMB hydralics and clutch going in. Then break in time all together.
Thank you for sharing!
