D, do you have a hardened pin??

SVT

No, but I will be looking.

 

[disciplerocks]

I see a 3/4 and a 7/8 crosspin listed. Wonder what size mine is.

 

[RangerSVT]

I've had the 37's on the stockish 35 (gears only) for about 8 months.The 3/4 pin is for 28 Spline carriers, 7/8 pin for 31 Spline carriers, but either carrier will work in any 8.8 axle...

 

[disciplerocks]

I kinda thought that was the difference, but wasn't sure.

 

[elpoffroad]

I have been wheeling with the 37's since 9 months lol not much longer about to put in 4.88 and the mini spool at the same time. I need to get the hardened pin also

My bad... I have ZERO experance on the 8.8! Didnt know she was a C-clipper lol

Im very lazy, i dont wanna have to get out and lock/unlock a hub all the time.

So I found out some 8.8 shafts have the large hub, but some are the same as the explorer. So I picked up a set. Now the only thing keeping the disc brake swap from being bolt on is drilling new holes in the rotor.

Large and small

Ok need some help with setting my pinion angle. My driveshaft is currently 24*. But my rear axle came out of SVT's truck (supercab) so it is a lot lower. So I need my new axle to be closer. So whats a good number? Maybe 21* to account for axle wrap?

 

[escort_gts]

That depends in what driveshaft you have. A double cardan you need close to zero at axle. A single joint at both ends you need close to same angle at axle and t-case. I think that is what I read.

Dustin, set the rear axle pinion inline with the driveshaft and weld your perches...

I ran a mini spool for about three hrs. Trailerd my ranger truggy from Michigan to Harlan, drove up the one side of the mt and down the other. Hit the little waterfall obstacle, driving to drive up I slid back and bounced down and broke the hardened cross pin spinning the mini spool in the carrier. Thankfully I brought a spare carrier with welded spiders so it didn't ruin my week.

I will never run a mini spool again, my $.02.

This is correct. Don't account for axle wrap, eliminate it with a traction bar.

 

[disciplerocks]

Gotcha. Its a double carden coming from the tcase.

Its on the list to do. A little farther down though.

[88_Eddie]

that's a big old weld there. maybe i need to make another pass on mine

 

[disciplerocks]

I was trying to get the most coverage with my 110V.

 

[Bray D]

Nickel wire?

 

[disciplerocks]

Flux core.

 

[disciplerocks]

So glad the forum is back up.

Took the rotors to work and drilled the holes. I've decided I need a drill press.

And I got my mini in.

There was a pretty nice one in Utica here in town for $125.
