locked rear differential today!

Post by POIZNES »

well i finally got fed up with the one wheel wonder and decided to weld up my rear differential... i would say total it took about 3 hours not working hard at all and by myself! it took me longer to get it out than it took to get it back in and after it was out welding it up couldnt have been much easier or straight forward... car kinda feels funny in a full slow turn, you can hear the tires spinning a little but im sure i will get use to it :twisted:
pulled out on my road and decided to make sure everything was going to hold and after a nice smokey burnout seeying the two solid black twisty tire marks in my rearview made it all well worth it!!!! 8)

The only thing you will break are axles. AND that is is only if the welds in the diff break. I snapped 5 axles total. Did you use nickel rod to weld it up with?

cops give a hard time in your area when they see you take a slow corner?

i welded it up with a high power mig... i actually melted most of the gears together! as far as cops... lol we dont have any cops in this area much! we have one cop that is on duty where i live and i never see him, plus all the roads are pretty much straight or long curves... we dont even have emissions or sound control either so as long as im not in a car that looks fast and im going fast then i really never have to worry about any cops!
