2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Welded my rearend, little problem.

[Cummins724]

I welded my rearend gears & tried a test drive. The truck won't move now. What did I do wrong?

The German Language has a one word description of your dilemma; "VOOPS" GregH

I've heard it is real difficult to get the pinion gear depth adjustment on the ring gear just right. Your method should solve that problem.

 

[WestTN]

The problem is that you welded the wrong gears together. You should have welded the spider gears together, not the ring and pinion.

With just that simple modification, your fuel mileage will increase to the point where you hardly have to even buy any.

Thanks man. I am not the dummy who did this. I saw this pick on another forum & almost fell out of my chair. I just wanted to give you guys a good laugh. :-laf I did some demo derby cars in the past, we welded the spiders.

 

[Cummins724]

You guys are funny, but lets be honest. How many guys really fell for this? I love TDR!!!!!

Wonder how the installer used that little yellow paint to check gear mesh.

I think you must of set back lash at 0.

Pretty good job on the welds man, if you cant move the truck with just those little splatter welds and a million foot lbs coming from your engine.

I got quite a big laugh and a fart from that one, Moe

Me too! :-laf I just had to post this..... What was he thinking?

 

[BILLVO]

Funny post, but I think it was probably a joke on the other site as well. I doubt he could have gotten a weld that good on the r&p while in the housing and top and bottom to boot.



But to the unknowing its a good joke. :-laf

If you look closer, You'll see that the pinion is not even in the housing but just sitting on a piece of metal on a table. NOBODY is that dumb!

Yeah, thats what I said too, but the guy then posted a pic of it in a housing & really had us going. :-laf
