My F-250 sits for weeks or months at a time...Unless I have to mow the lawn. :haha: It pretty much starts when I need it, but it takes a lot of cranking to get the fuel back up to the carb. Helps to have an oversize battery in it, also. Haven't done anything special with it, but it doesn't have...

AAWW, heck, it can't smell any worse than her Cooking! :haha: But she gets sick just walking out to the garage when I am working on axles or trannies and have grease on me....can't stand the smell. I've heard to use a hi nickle rod. Is that right? Will 7018 work? I don't have access to a mig...

Looks like thats the plan... I know the gears need pre-heated, can I use a bottled propane torch or does it have to be Oxy-acetylene to get it hot enough?

Thats my next line of thought, Just wondering how many axles I need to buy as spares. BTW, its for the rear of my CJ-5 with 35's, runing hard in the mud and some street driving.

Anyone wanna trade 1 lockright for a spool? :haha: I got it back together, but could only get one more thrust washer into the case, and still put the pin in. Worked a little better, but still doesn't hook up like I want. Ground the locker a couple times and didn't even got moving (in dirt)...

BTW, thanks, Dustin, for taking the time on the phone to help me out once again! :cheer:

I gott'r figured out. I didn't install the 2 thrust washers that came with the unit (used). I was thinking they were originals from the previous diff. But they are needed, so I have it tore back apart to install them. The cups are in the correct direction, turns out they will only go in one...

in this pic, the red areas are cup-like inserts. what orientation are they? cup towards axle or towards center? I tried to install them cup towards center, but the center pin didn't want to go in. also, does the lockright have its own thrust washers and needs to use the original ones from the...

I have NO personal experience with him, but I HAVE seen a number of posts on CL where he ...lets say the customer didn't seem happy with his work..... But I also have seen his own posts defending himself, and he has had a good argument about why the customer wasn't happy. who's right? I dunno...

I'll be putting a set on my Wife's Durango to help out when towing the Jeep on the car trailer. Got a set off a parts truck a while ago, so it'll be a free mod.

NICE truck, Greg! that and the trailer will get lots of stuff to the cabin, eh? I'm jealous! Liz wants to upgrade my tow rig, but I can't quite swing it this year (We already bought 2 this year!) :haha:

I've heard the big three hold talks like that all the time with other auto makers. nothing comes out of it most of the time....

how do you carry a suburban on a 12' trailer? I have just enough deck space to load a full size Ford truck end to end on my 16' deck. I measured my CJ and figured I'd need a 12' deck just for that! this one was a little wide......:haha:

yep its got brakes on it also.

I've used and abused my trailer for 8 years now. Bought it brand new in CA from AZ-TECK trailers. Its an angle iron built trailer with the 1 ft sides on it. Not technically a car trailer (Classified as a utility trailer), But I've hauled a 1 ton truck with a 12 ft flatbed on it over 75 miles...

there was an episode of extreme 4x4 TV that dealt with a setup like that. But I can't remember exactly what they did. I do remember they had the lower tube come thru the floor and attach to the upper tubes somehow, but it was removable in case they wanted to change something on the truck.

Aren't the Centurion Conversions nice? this is mine.... A litttle earlier model, but still a nice ride. I sure wish mine was a 4WD, tho...... :(

I saw that run! Did a good run the first time also. I got crappy vid of your 10 year old driving the first run int he white truck also.

hence why I apoligized, or did you not notice that in your hurry to put me down once again?:flipoff: :flipoff: :wtf:

Sorry. I was thinking of this link, http://dol.wa.gov/driverslicense/cdltypes.html which says the way I read it, it says you need a class B to run a trailer with a 10K rating.
