Spiders welded to Carrier..now what
Im doing a frame off resto, when I popped the cover my 1977 Dana 44 K20 w/4.11 has the spider gears welded to the carrier...crap, this is supposed to be a DD type rig. I live in the Pacific NW, lots of snow. I can't justify not rectifying this issue now. There are 4 welds, one broke off from the carrier, looks sketchy.
My options as I see them: 1. Run as is, quirky possibly unsafe operations 2. Take out carrier and try to remove the welds and replace with new spiders 3. Go to a yard and look for a new carrier. My inclination is #3, will any Dana 44 work to pull the carrier out and replace in mine? I would rather replace the guts since I've already blasted and painted the axle, bolted on springs with new bolts. |
