14 bolt 373
Well I picked up a 14 bolt 373 (SF 6 lug) from a pull a part yesterday. Pulled diff cover and found some very small shavings. Had more play than the 12 bolt that I am replacing. Rear end is out of a 88 truck. Not sure of miles had no speedo. I pulled it out thinking I would find some bearings that were shot. No such luck. All bearings look good. Reason I am replacing axle is my 12 bolt is axle tube was broke off (PO) pumpkin and welded back wrong.
1. Can someone tell me if the gears are shot.
2, wrong shims?
3. What needs to be replaced (kit, part #)
4. My 12 bolt yoke won't fit on the 14 bolt. I have read that the 10 bolt yoke will. Or just get conversion joint?
5. The off center pumpkin issue of the semi float 9.5. 1" or so off center.
Only gave $100 for the 14 bolt rear end. Try and put it back together or look for another? How hard is it to set up the gears correctly?
