I am in a bind now...Just put gears, ARB and one piece axles into this thing and The shop must of not caught that the tubes have spun in the housing (due to a heavy foot when I broke the rear Drive shaft) because as soon as I left the shop there was a new vibration from a bad pinion angle...
So Do i find another housing and insert all my new shit, truss it and run her until she breaks?
Or Start all over?
I could maybe come up wit the cash in a couple of months for a new axle.
Yeah seems like a good deal The Detroit alone is near worth the $250 and with the one piece axles makes it a good deal. Does it have the same gears as your front axle? If so it should be bolt on and go.
Oh yeah on the replacement axle with the Detroit, I run the same thing with 35's. I welded the tubes and have never had a problem. I drive with a medium to hot foot. But i also run a 4.2 ltr w/4.0 head w/Mopar MPI. Not as much torque as your 350. If I ran a 350 like you I would really consider welding the tubes and trussing.
I ran my AMC 20 for 20 years or so of wheeling. It seemed to work well with 35 inch tires and a MPI 4.2. I found a good deal on a 9 inch, so i wanted to take the 20 out. I also found my tubes had been spining on my perches and the housing had been jumping. I wouldnt put another cent into a AMC 20. Go with a 9 inch- simple and strong as hell.
