I'm down for a snow run keep me posted

 

[2004xlmiller]

who wants to have an axle swap meet this weekend? im picking up another 7.5 (yea i know..) this weekend, its got the gears i need and its only 50 bucks.

 

[stiluv]

If you wanna wait a week or two i will sell you my 31 spline 8.8 for $50

 

[2004xlmiller]

gears and l/s? if its the expo axle, are the perches already rewelded?

 

[ben10]

Wes isn't your axle 3.73? We are looking at going to this spot off highway 50 if you want to roll with us. Should be about 45 min from sac.

Morgan I'm in roseville for a while now. I'm doing on the road training so I'm on call. They call I leave for a day and a half make a bunch of money and come back. Then back to class room training after 2 weeks of that. Then more on the job training then remote control train operations training and more on the job training then I'm a fully vertex train conductor. At which point ill probably put a camper shell on my truck and be relatively homeless living in Oakland in the rail yard.

 

[2004xlmiller]

thatll be cool once you get through all the training. and forget the shell, go occupy status.

and as for the axle the only thing that was gonna trip me up was the brakes, and the ebrake. but i did some research on bleeding the system and i think i can handle it with just me n my buddy.

God the 'effers over on therangerforums are so retarted. Everytime I bring up TTB all I get is haters and bullshit generalizations. They sure do love their big heads over there, as well as their torsion bars

Maybe that's why I quit browsing over there about 6 months ago

TRS is where its at....everyone is friendly, AND knowledgeable.


Just sayin'

Lick my sack. Oh and the TTB is gay, solid axle's where it's at.

Speaking of which, my shit is still down. Nobody has a hub. Raybestos is two months out from their next production run and they're already sold out.

Napa, Kragen, Autozone, Parts Planet, LMC, Summit, Jegs, Cap City Brake and Clutch, West Coast Diff, Dana Corp. Nobody.

So....anyone got an 8 lug D44 hub laying around? Or a D60 on the cheap?

Not sure why I'd want to help you but have you called Ford Auto Recyclers down in Rancho, or Rancho Ford Truck (accross the street from each other)?

Keep your eyes peeled for one on Craigslist.

Also there is a 3/4 and 1 ton truck junkyard off Swetzer by RuffStuff. Give them a call. Think it is called Sierra Trucks or something like that.

I thought 1/2, 3/4 ton, chevy D44, Ford D44 HP LP ect ect all used the same Warn hub part number?

How about Parts Mike or WFO Concepts in Auburn?

I work about a quarter mile down the street from the auto recyclers, neither of them had one.

I'll have to give them a call when I get home.

No, there are external lockouts, and two different size internal lockouts.
I don't need the lockout....well I did. I need the hub body.
How about Parts Mike or WFO Concepts in Auburn?
Worth a shot, I'll call them when I get home.
