: Prove It browncow 05-19-2003, 08:02 PM My friend told me today, "I have a 16 bolt chevy rearend." Correct me if i am wrong, but my friend is a dumba$$ because there is no such thing as a 16 bolt chevy rearend. I looked at the outer axles closer, and noticed that they wernt even FF. Please put something good on here that i can pring up and take to him. Thanks. Have a good laugh. :D :D :D :D Motornoggin 05-19-2003, 08:28 PM I bet he was counting the bolts on his inspection cover. ranger 05-19-2003, 09:30 PM Maybe he was saying his ass can hold 16 bolts!:flipoff2: FYRMAN 05-19-2003, 10:03 PM A "X" bolt axle refers to the number of bolts that hold the ring gear to the carrier. 10 bolts hold the ring gear on. 14 bolts hold the ring gear on Copenhagen 05-19-2003, 10:16 PM Ive heard that same thing, but in this pic, the carrier on the left is a 14ff, i count 12 ring gear bolts..... or did i just read your statement wrong? http://community.webshots.com/photo/53726543/53727186xBijAb browncow 05-19-2003, 10:30 PM I was talking about the outer diff cover.... but i know what you are saying. I have a fourwheel adventures issue that has nothing said about a GM ring bolt carrier with 16 bolts holding on the ring gear. I do know that the 14 bolt ring gear is held on by twelve actual screws, but the 14 bolt got that name by the number of bolts holding on the differential cover....... Copenhagen 05-19-2003, 10:33 PM yea.... theres no such axle... named a 16 bolt. but i figure that goes with out saying lol, FYRMAN 05-19-2003, 10:44 PM Originally posted by Copenhagen Ive heard that same thing, but in this pic, the carrier on the left is a 14ff, i count 12 ring gear bolts..... or did i just read your statement wrong? http://community.webshots.com/photo/53726543/53727186xBijAb That just what I've always been told. jbear 05-19-2003, 11:08 PM The SF14B, FF14B, 12B all have 12 bolts holding the ring gear on. I've the "its the # on the ring gear" too, but it's crap. charlo 05-19-2003, 11:53 PM GM did make axles much bigger than the 14bolt for some of there commercial stuff but I dont think thats what your friend ment. I think the gm stuff goes all the way up to like a 14" ring gear :eek: Charlo k5kc 05-20-2003, 06:27 AM GM made 2 1/2 ton axles for military and commercial use but, not as many of those are out there like the rockwells browncow 05-20-2003, 06:39 AM That may be so, but on a stock 90's model chevy 4x4 i seriously doubt that he has a commercial FF axle. And i am pretty sure that it isnt even Full Float. don't pretty much all c-clip axles have the same wheel outers? browncow 05-20-2003, 06:48 AM Oh yeah, should i bet money with him saying that there is no such thing as a 16 bolt rearend? Copenhagen 05-20-2003, 10:09 AM atleast bet him money that he doesnt have a 16 bolt in his truck. | |
