Must Read For All Dana 35 Owners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, the RBV hub bodies are definitely not known for strength (there should be several past posts on it, some with carnage pics), mere torque from big tires and a locked differential just pops them right off, there doesn't have to be an internal malfunction. I do not know if the D28 bodies are weaker or not (I suspect not, as broken D28 hubs are quite rare, the little toothpick shafts just don't have enough strength to break them).
The D35 Jeep hubs on the other hand, their body is a much heavier alloy, and pretty much solves the issue of weakness.

So did we learn anything useful here? If we bust a D35 body and have an extra D28 body we can swap the D35 guts in?

Very true, a broken D35 hub certainly would be a source for an inner gear.

Noticed this morning that the D28 hub body is longer than a D35's, and it looks like the splined part that accepts the axle sits deeper into the body of the D28 hub than the D35.. have to measure it to see if it might not engage the stub adequately though..

EDIT: Saturday I'll dig out my spare D35 and mock it up and see if it actually works on the axle.

And if you are not running the end washers and clips, like I'm not because they won't go in on the new axles I was able to find a couple years ago, then it may be even more of a problem.

I did this exact thing as I blew hubs all the time and had 2 D-28 hubs laying around.

I blew them up too.

Take two

Way to steel the idea as your own!

You are on drugs (or are off of them) if you think I've in any way claimed this idea as my own by making a video of a proof of concept exercise.

You guys have had valuable input--all. I know. I have read everything you have posted since the beginning. I'm not going to quantify our contribution because it would be weighted by technical complexity, enthusiam, level-headedness, believability and all around whats-it-ness. I even included wishy-washyness into my calculation.

I just wish this bullshit bickering wouldn't happen. I have 4 kids and instead of being an escape, TRS is becoming an extension. If anything causes me to finally pack it in--and this is the only pkace on the internet beside Ebaymotors I have ever gone, it will be squabling among senior members. I can deal with the little bitch puks, but when the senior members are fighting like dandelion scouts, it gives me depair.

Maybe i should be on Drugs then maybe in my delusional Hysteria, I may value your opinion, and may also think your a nice guy........or NOT!

You seriously think your fat Sasquatch arse would have been out side in the garage playing with hubs, had the OP not mentioned he did this?

Sure you proved the concept and made it visual, that it can indeed be done, instead of a few words typed saying "Believe me it works".

Had you mentioned where you got the idea from (TRS) and who sparked the idea in your pea brain (dangerranger91), Before whoring your video. I wouldn't have made a big stink about it. But since I couldn't give a rats azz about you, or your feelings, I wanted to take the time to drag your name in the mud a bit, since your so quick to call me a plagiarist.

Now back to to the topic at hand.

Joel, chill man.

Why does it matter anyway. Is there any profit that can be had by some one claiming the idea as thier own? No.

Did he say that it was his idea? No.
Did he say where he got the idea? No.
Does it matter? No.


Thank you Totalled for taking the time and effort to demonstrate and prove what the original poster discovered.




Now, is there an issue with engagement on the stub shaft.

Hmm... *goes out to garage to try it.*

At which point (video included) did he take credit for it? Personally I like the fact he took the time to make the video for those of us that don't have this stuff setting around to play with. Some of these far flung interchangablity projects could use some videos to go along with them, because normally it isn't as easy as they say it is.

Awaiting stub shaft engagement results (sounds like from the OP it should work) so I can see if my parents will trade me the nice Warn hubs off of their Exploder for my original pink ones on my Ranger before they try to sell it...

It's bad Taste, and a Proof of Character. He gripes my ass all over the net claiming I hang out on a Pagiarist Web site, but yet nearly all the information has come out of my experiences.

I'm glad he took the time to to make a video about it. Had I still been using the D35 hubs I'd ahve takenthe D28 ones apart and got them ready for when I broke a D35 casing.

Do I give the OP credit for the idea? Hell yes I'd never have thought of trying it. I was ready to Junk the D28 hubs I've been holding on to for the past 4 years. Do I give Totalled Credit? No! But would rather thank him for taking the time to make a movie about it.

If you wander over to his site and find a similar post to this one you'll see everyone giving him a Pat on the back like he is some GOD for the idea. Did he once mention where the idea came from? No! That's what gripes my ass the most.

I did a D44 knuckle conversion Do I take credit for it? No I don't if you serach teh likes of Pirate and some of the other Ranger sites you will see that I give Todd credit and reference his article.

Give credit where credit is due. Totalled has done nothing of the sort, and he's so thick headded that he won't Just to spite. Proof of Charachter and the site he represents!

 

[rickcdewitt]

maybe you guys should meet up,duke it out,do a b2 pull off or something?j/k

i saw the b2 org thread and it does seem the way you put it copykat

I said: "why don't you go back to the plagiarist's web site you like so much" in one post on one site. Perhaps you aren't aware, or are to dense to make the connection.. but the owner of broncoii-ranger.com IS a plagiarist. When he first started his web site, he directly lifted and posted as his own, tech pages from TRS and broncoii.org. He was busted, and took them down. Why don't you ask him why all of his tech is on the forum, and he doesn't have any tech web pages...? I guess I can see if you weren't aware of that why you would be so butt hurt, as I guess you think I'm calling your contributions to that site Plagiarism? I'm not.

If you wander over to his site and find a similar post to this one you'll see everyone giving him a Pat on the back like he is some GOD for the idea. Did he once mention where the idea came from? No! That's what gripes my ass the most.

Does it fucking matter since I don't claim the idea as my own... no! Most of the tech you post is not your original idea either. As an example.. did I get butt hurt on every single forum you frequent about you putting the F O R D letters on your rig, even though I posted the same idea 4 years ago...? No. You just got to it first. Whooptie doo. I said in the beginning of the video I made that "they guy who claims you can put D35 hub guts into a D28 hub" .... kinda leads most people to believe it wasn't my idea. I don't post tech to stroke my ego by having people fall all over me to tell me how awesome "my" idea or "god like" RBV knowledge is.. I post to help people and share knowledge.

Sheesh.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled tech.

i dont know me and my buddy took the innerds out of my dana 35 auto hub and tried then in a dana 28 manual hub and we couldent get it. maybe its just me but i couldent get it.

 

[Boggin]
