It's taking so long because He has many other things that he makes and he's only 1 man. lol

Been busy working on other projects. Putting in a turbo Cummins 290, rear shocks and a light bar on my M813.

Hello me, meet the real me. A deep dark past is my most valued possession

M35A2(SCRAPPING!!)

I guess it might be good to mention that I'm having a local machine shop, here in Boulder, duplicate some parts for a broken 5 ton AVM hub I bought off ebay. I don't know how this fact plays into the current discussion, but this might be helpful to know.

trango..on the avm hub ,which part broke ? i have a broken avm hub. the splined sleeve broke in half. maybe they can make me a sleeve?

Trango

Lol. Is this the "middle" splined sleeve, with the "fine" splines on the inside, and the 8 or so tabs on the outside? If so, that's the part I'm having made.

not doubting anyones abilities but hope they know what types of steel to use and send the parts away to be heat treated. Gearhart only uses the proper types of steel or alum. for his parts. Mild steel machined into the parts isn't gonna be strong enough

thanks for the heads up, but my partner in this project works as a designer/engineer. We are going a total different direction. We don't think the convental (warn) style lock/unlock hubs can handle the loads these truck will put on them. Some large companies have made made locking hubs before. They had some issues and stopped making them." Nothing like machining lots of small pieces, just to turn them into confetti." Good luck with your design.

yeah these are nothing like the warns either. These have specific dove cut tooth and engagement system. The warn stuff is a bit outdated even the updated hub they built for the Bigfoot trucks back in the 80's is way outdated setup too.
