Happy Holidays man !!!

KroAutomotiveInc · 12-29-2014, 10:26 PM

happy holidays to you as well my friend!

KroAutomotiveInc · 12-29-2014, 10:38 PM

So i have some strange stuff happening with the truck. I took off from a stop a big bang went off and no power to the rear wheels. Yet the drive line is turning. I jack the truck up and pull the diff cover off no sign of any damage nor any metal in the oil. When i turn the drive line by hand everything works as normal. Spider gears? Its a dana 44 posi.

Here's a pic of her with the tool box upgrades

piratexpress1369a · 12-30-2014, 11:41 AM

did it just jump out of gear when you pulled away from the stop sign ..maybe you were not all the way in gear

TJ's Chevy · 12-30-2014, 12:12 PM

Sometime posi units can just plain go out on ya...are you doing big burnouts we don't know about or something? lol!

**chevy_man5** · 12-30-2014, 12:18 PM

Or maybe too many baja drives around that field behind your sheds?? LOL

KroAutomotiveInc · 12-30-2014, 08:09 PM

Its for sure in gear you can put it in gear and let the clutch out and the drive line spins. Yes i admit i'm pretty hard on the truck especially when i first got it on the road i did one of the biggest burn outs of my life in this thing when the t case was still in it. It was at least 300 feet through 2nd and 3rd fish tailing the hole way on dry pavement lol. I haven't check further but its got to be the rear end the only thing that's throwing me off is that it still rotates the tires when i turn the drive line by hand.

KroAutomotiveInc · 12-30-2014, 11:13 PM

Good old car song

TJ's Chevy · 01-01-2015, 10:17 PM

Well...posi units work like brakes in a way...as you accelerate the pads in the unit apply pressure to both sides making it a full locker...if those pads are worn or broken the wheels will spin off the ground, but under load nothing will happen. So becareful with yer unit man....my dad got one for our 77 c20 and it was something like $500 for it....also it could be your rack gear as well.

KroAutomotiveInc · 01-02-2015, 01:34 AM

Thanks tj that makes since. If i where to weld the spider gears together would that bypass the clutches or pads?

mud.man.rj · 01-02-2015, 02:41 PM

You weld the spiders to the housing and it works great but can't turn at all being
fully locked all the time without any slippage at all, will drag a tire even in the slightest turn. Works great in the front with manual hubs because you can unlock the hubs for daily driving, rear is drag strip (straight ahead) only.

KroAutomotiveInc · 01-02-2015, 08:48 PM

So after pondering my options im dropping the alxe out and getting it repaired got an estimate of 350 parts and labor to do the clutches.

holy travel!

Burnt Clutch Packs Out Easy Fix

mud.man.rj · 01-03-2015, 03:26 AM

Thats a good price for parts and labour, will work way better too, back to burnouts.

rusty76 · 01-02-2015, 11:48 PM

Really do like those mudflaps...lol.

KroAutomotiveInc · 01-03-2015, 01:30 AM

Thanks Rusty76! There even vintage they have a 1979 date on them. I got them from my old man they have been hanging in the garage since i was a little kid.

KroAutomotiveInc · 01-03-2015, 03:32 AM

you know me to well mudman!

TJ's Chevy · 01-03-2015, 12:15 PM

Back to burnouts....better buy a spare set of pads. LMHO!!!!!!!! LOL! I hope I'm not the only one who gets it.

mud.man.rj · 01-03-2015, 05:25 PM

Just leave the back brakes adjusted down less than the front, easier burnouts cause they don't hold as good.. yep done that.

KroAutomotiveInc · 01-16-2015, 08:02 PM

I took my last drive in the 64 today (or tow;() she was there for me through the last 7 years and 6 women. What an experience never regret your mistakes id torch her to pieces and weld her back in a heart beat good bye sexy *****!

TJ's Chevy · 01-16-2015, 10:03 PM

Why is it going!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

mud.man.rj · 01-17-2015, 01:37 PM
