Would you consider doing a write up? It sounds very easy, but more pictures and such would help me feel better. I don’t think anyone has done one for this method. This is my plan for my truck right now. I don’t have a forklift, but planned on using two engine hoists.

Thanks for the reply.
So you left the shafts attached to the hubs the whole time? How hard was it to re-insert the splines into the pumpkin?

Do you have a write up on how you did it exactly or could you write up what you did?
What special tools besides a forklift do you need?

The 1088 has 3 axles..... Are you looking for two trucks worth of gears or do you have one gear set and need two more to complete the truck? I was confused by your post.

Steve is a custom axle manufacturer. He uses these axles for parts and then rebuilds them for customers needing special axles...... mud buggies, crawlers, etc.....
He has been trying for a long time to find compatible parts so he can make more variants of Frankenstein’s axles......
He has...
I had more time to think about it. I am convinced my statement is true. Basically the pinion gear drives the ring. The ring spins the carrier (excuse me if my terms are off in this discussion). The carrier spins the spider gear shaftes. Now if both axles are spinning at the same rate...
According to my memory......the above is Not true...... if one tire is not moving, half of the differential will be fixed and the differential will double the rpm on the spinning output side. At least that is my recollection of what happens.
Steve would probably have a better explanation...
You will need to measure the rotation at both hubs simultaneously. With open differentials, one side can either increase or decrease the rotation of the other. If you measure both you can tell if the differential is messing with your results.

So you lose 1 MPG for the added axle and weight? That does not sound too bad of a trade. Percentage wise it is huge, but by absolute numbers not so bad.

Anyone with the 3.07 gears have any issues with not enough torque for hill climbing, off-road, towing, etc? I have heard that without hp upgrades higher speed gears can cause everything to be sluggish when you would naturally need more torque.
