Well we Joe and I got the gears in with some help from Andy. It was not easy the carrier is so heavy we think about 100lb with the locker at head height and we put it in 3 times. Maybe weighed a bit less but that's what it felt like. We had to move the carrier .002 to get proper backlash. But all is good. After we broke in the gears with a rolling burn out. ;) So my RPM dropped 350rpm, so now at 60mph I am at 2100rpm not 2400rpm or so.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
The old "rolling burn out breaking the gears in procedure" looked and sounded really cool.
Lower, what diff did you use? I don't remember...and I've never seen a toothed spacer like that. |

It is a Dana 70 dually out of the '94 ford cube van that my drivetrain came out of. The toothed gear is for the abs, but I am using it for a speed sensor. The ring presses onto the OD of the carrier and there is a 2 wire sensor that reads it. |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
They look great. .nice burnout
|
Re: My 52 GMC Build
Great to brake in that way :metal:

So today I decided to put some tunes in the truck I already had the amp and bought some 6x9 speakers and boxes they will go in the cab corners. I mounted the amp under the passenger seat. I am running rca from the amp to a headphone jack and can plug in my phone or ipod. I hooked it up enough to try and sounds really good.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
OK the gears are so much better, and it really pulls like a freight train now:metal:
Question time post your guesses on how much my GMC weighs. I am going to put it across the scales at the city dump tomorrow. I will also try and get the 50/50 split weight as well. I will post up Thursday or Friday eve, when I get a bunch of guesses. I will subtract myself and calculate out the fuel. |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
I will play what do I win if I'm closest?
4385lbs is my guess tough to know what the trans and axle all add to the equation EDIT: 60F/40R |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
Hmmm... put me down for 4500 lbs and 54%F, 46%R. :lol:

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Re: My 52 GMC Build
In October we are driving my GMC to north Carolina for the Good Guys show. It is about a 800 mile drive. Maybe I can meet up with some of you there or on our way back. I have a day and a half to get there before the show and a week to tour home.
