Thanks, that's reassuring. I expected it to drive much more like a spool any time I was touching the throttle.

Hi guys, Finished installing my Detroit locker and gears yesterday.  This is my first Detroit and I expected it to chirp the inside wheel a lot when turning.  As it turns out it seems to ratchet on tight turns even when some throttle.  Sometimes it ratchets for a while then chirps the inside wheel a...

Thanks guys. I'll check that but the problem is worst in reverse. Will the governor valve being stuck cause this problem in reverse also?

Lately my c-6 Which (hasn't done that many miles) is really struggling when first starting and any time I'm in reverse (problem gets a lot worse in reverse on inclines). It's not like its revving the engine really hard and slipping. I can put my foot flat to the boards and in reverse it feels like I...

Makes sense, I just figured its kinda different for a go fast build. I know they are bomb proof and can be twin sticked.

Why an NP205? Just curious.

those videos are great, always filmed really well.

are you going to add any bracing between the ps box and frame? The boxes tend to move and flex the frame a lot if just the three bolts are used, in some cases the bolts will fail. I've seen a few different setups that brace the box using the already threaded hole onion the upper vertical sideof the ...

Thanks Rod, thats a relief.

I damaged a seal while removing the axles on my 9" the other day. The bearings that were on the axles are tapered rollers that separate as the axle is removed (leaving the outer race in the axle tube). The problem is the only replacement bearings I can find don't come apart to allow me to install th...

Ahhh, I never even considered that. Philo, did you drive yours for long with the crack?

Stu

Thanks guys, I guess I'll risk it. If I was to drop a weld onto the crack won't it just crack again next to the weld. Would preheating the area help?

I've just dropped my 3rd member to swap out he open carrier for a Detroit locker and have found a crack near the pinion pilot bearing. I'm gonna need to move this thing in the next few days which will mean driving it a few Kms back home. Will the added stress of running a Detroit likely cause the su...

If you have the time to wait, there is a seller in Phillip Island (can't remember his ebay name but he is F-trucks r us in Cowes) that starts np208s at $100 every now and again. I've bought one off his shelf and it cost me $600.

I'll take the M thanks.

Someone needs to build a dual steering box, crossover steering for the TTB! One could build an idler arm to replicate the steering box on the pass side, then reverse the linkage. That would do it. :roll: Finally caught up with my local authorised vehicle engineer today and gained some info on appro...

Put me down for 1 small and 1 medium please.

I'd never heard of the $500 craigslist car before reading that article just now. I bet he had more fun at that rally than all the pro drivers combined!

Thanks for the offer Rick, I'll shoot you a message when I am over there and maybe I can drop by. Thats a sweet looking bronco btw.

Cheers
Stu

Mate that sucks, hope that kid learned his lesson. So are you gonna rebuild the Jeep or are you switching to a bronco?
