Thread: 97' Baby blue build

I know that spun bearings and a previously mentioned "existing" cracks are substantial culprits for that ish. Even your cheaper aftermarket axles with Timkens are going to have more strength in general. So seeing this issue again on the side you replace with suprise the hell out of me. But one thing that people dont always understand, And Im saying this for Andrews knowledge, Lance has a small bearing housing, that means that there is no size difference in the axle from a 28 to 31 spline. They have the same shank size where the bearing is pressed on (if he sheared the axle where the splines were than the words "28 from 31" of weakness would now be able to be called insufficient). Now if your talking about a big bearing roller or big bearing tapered style, Then yes, the size changes. So if this is a regular occurance for Lance, then he needs to toss out that 28 spl stuff.

i know going to 31 spline would not help breakage there, i was referring to twisting the splines off over time.

Oh ok, I read you wrong then. The only splines ive seen twisted off were from Lincoln locked crawlers or high horsepower cars. And both you and I know that the 2.3 is the biggest POS ever HAha.

Got back from vacation today and got a new 3rd member for the truck. Brand new 4:56 richmond gears, brand new Auburn pro series limited slip, 4130 crush sleeve, and oversized yoke for the bigger u joint. Throwing the Currie axle and bearing in tommorow and then my truck will be back to life! Cant wait to see how the limited slip and new gears feel compared to my old setup.

Made a trip to king this morning

Nice! Now you can tune!
