6.4 2.6 pulling truck build

[Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto]

Yeah. I have a pretty sneaking suspicion the rear end let go first now. Then the power all transferred to the front, blew out the u-joints, they had no where to go once they wadded up, so they spit the knuckle off as it was the path of least resistance.

 

[Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto]

It will be getting fixed asap

 

[ncollins64]

What are you thinking broke in the rear?

 

[Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto]

I'm sure ring and pinion. That's the only thing that break on these axles

 

[Riverside]

That makes total sense then why both u joints checked out at the same time.

Thats even with cryo treating gears yeah.

 

[Vader's Fury]

I am sure round 2 will be even stronger and more powerful

 

[Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto]

No cryo treating. Just spicer gears.

Don't be all holier than thou... Cali isn't far from Mexico....

And your brain isn't far off the reservation.

And your brain isn't far off the reservation.

There's no reservation for Gingersriest: can't build a prison to hold us.

Sooo gonna have her patched up soon??!!?? I just need to drive out there. I have to run in a stake race at Arlington park... Chicago is close enough to you right?

Damn that sucks... $$$$ at first it sounded like the engine was in shambles but I guess it was the sled mangling the rear end uke:

Awesome glad to see the old girl driving without assistance!

 

[lincolnlocker]

dam the luck!! that chit is insane! good luck on getting her back together.

So the rear shaft broke. Which in turn unloaded and sent all the power to the front. Which instantly destroyed the u-joints and wadded the yokes together. When they wadded up something had to give and since the rest of the axle is stout, the weakest link was the ball joints.

The fix includes, but not limited to, new spicer ball joints, repair the rear driveshaft, chromoly axles, billet u-joints with chromoly caps, two new abs sensors, one new shock absorber, possibly one brake line (surprising that they are intact and only one has even a mark on it), new bed and front fender. Repair the rear sled bumper.

Pics made it look like it needed to be totaled out. Not so bad in the vid.

 

[Stroked777]

Wow you got it banded aided up quick to get it off the trailer

 

[mustube]

Doesn't take too long to do ball joints when you start out with it apart already.

 

[Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto]

That is true.

It is back together. Have the billet joints, chromoly axles, stub shafts, new front cover all on the way. Hope to pull again in two weeks.

Do you know what engine revved to when everything broke? I assume the engine didn't get hurt?

 

[Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto]

Rev limiter is 5800. Engine is fine. It's coming out either way to get freshened before the big charger goes on.
