disciplerocks's B2 build thread

I did tell. Look up Ben.

Good you got home safely. That shit's gotta be nerve-racking, with a wobbly front wheel.

 

[disciplerocks]

No its not fun, but I'm kinda used to it after running the D35 for so long.

 

[disciplerocks]

Not sure what broke this time.

 

[dangerranger83]

When did you notice that it was broken or what told you it did other then seeing the oil under it? Looks like it has just broke right where you parked it.

[1986broncoiister]

hey im liking your rig but i think its mad at you for switching it to automatic lmao hope you get it fixed

 

[Jay'94]

HMMM? Isn't that Ranger SVTs old rear end? :icon_idea:

 

[RangerSVT]

I doubt it Jay. The one that broke was 28 spline and it was scrapped. The ex axle that was in it I believe he pulled the gears and used a different axle, this one is from a fw truck...

[disciplerocks]

Yes it is Ricks gears in a full width axle.

I noticed it when it went BANG, and I could no longer go forward.

 

[RangerSVT]

Have you pulled the cover yet?

[disciplerocks]

Gonna look tomorrow

 

[dangerranger83]

Okay, it's tomorrow, crack that baby open.

I don't see how you broke a 8.8 setup.

Mini spool...

It certainly wouldn't be the first.

 

[kris97ranger]

Not to mention all the torque from a 4.0 and a doubler

 

[dangerranger83]

But just driving to work... Hopefully a ring or pinion gear didnt bite the dust.

Settle down people. I just got off work.

I snapped the cross pin. I have spares and would only be a 20 minute fix, but I don't have a spare diff cover. Mine won't hold fluid anymore. Plus I'm not sure if the carrier is compromised. I'll grab another since I will be diff shopping for the Focus as well on my next junkyard run.

And yes this was done at 40 mph on a straight road.

 

[kris97ranger]

Stock cross pin or a hardened one?

 

[disciplerocks]

Stock 7/8.

Mini spools put a lot of stress on the cross-pin and never unlock to relieve the stress. This is why a properly welded diff is encouraged over a mini spool, it transfers most of the force through the side gears welded to the carrier instead.
