Man,
I had some weird driveline problems today????
I have a rear 1310 CV from Jess that I had modified to work with my new axles. I origionally had it made for my Cruser when I had the Toyota rear axle and the Atlas II.
If you remember, the reason I went with the RC D60 was that my driveline was at 32* with a CV. Now, with the high pinion, I am at a more reasonable 22*.
Well, I had all but destroyed the CV when I took the truck to Sunray for the axles. Tom just "rebuilt" the CV portion of the shaft, saying that it was in damn bad shape, but he would give it a try.
I toasted it today. Big time. Ouch.
Luckily, I had just had Sunray build me a spare non-CV shaft last week when it was out for the drag link work.
I guess I did not seat the U-joint caps into the Yoke very well, because 3 hours later I ripped one of the straps off on the transfer case yoke.
Needless to say, I had no spare.
I think I am going to get Jess to bild me a 1350 shaft. What do you guys run with big tires and big axles?
Here are some goof off shots:
