....should i remove the ring and pinion??? dont wanna fawk anything up before i do it...

Just make sure you go slow and don't get anything to hot... I believe your supposed to drain the fluid out first to.... And make sure you put some flux spray on things you don't want marks on......

i did mine completely assembled, as long as you have it dialed in correctly youll be fine. I didnt drain my diff fluid but stuck my finger in the drain hole after and it didnt feel like it had warmed up at all. unless youre doing a truss the pumpkin shouldnt be in the HAZ

Is it a cast center section, and do you know how to properly weld cast?

hp60....so i'm assuming it is...looks pretty cast to me...lots of preheat; but from what i read while searching you can do it with no preheating just don't let it cool rapidly...

Lot more to it than that. Pre-heat, high nickle rod, controlled cooling usually in sand.

How bout some pics of what yer doin'?

Always keep the ground lead as close to the welding spot as posible when welding on a vehicle. It will keep the current close and keep it from running through other parts.
