Just wondering how hard it is to weld a sammy diff and how it is on the road after?
Was that a hard swap to do? what year of toy diffs did you use? and what about drive shafts?Originally posted by blake:
I welded my rear diff last summer and was quite happy untill i noticed the tire wear. Realize that i drive up to 500km per week on pavement and you can see my problem, so i just switched my front and rear diffs (toy diffs) and have a detroit in the rear and the welded in the front. btw i can hardly tell the diffrence between the welded and the detroit in the front, i guess the detroir locked as soon as i turned the wheels.
Which parts of the diff did you weld? I've seen some whoe just fill the spider gears, others weld everything together, and I've heard of people filling the whole carrier with lead instead which I think is an interesting idea! Anyone know how much heat it takes to get lead to melt? Those diffs get pretty hot sometimes!Originally posted by blake:
