    Wrecker Broken CV Joint

    By re-engineering to the current configuration I can easily fix my shaft with a $12 u joint from any auto parts store, fromthis point forward, can't get any cheaper than that. The civy CV joints that Adams and a few of the others chimed in with were anywhere from $60-500 . the stock shaft...

    Davis:. Yes the plan is to get rid of all of the shafts down there. Goal is to put in an Eaton Fuller 10spd or bigger,. Run a 2stage wet kit off the trans and do away with the power divider due to t case being pushed back for trans install. The wet kits that i have run on petes and...

    Got the shaft back in last nite, and this afternoon should be close to 50*F so the irritable beast may fire so I can test and re-cradle the boom after 3 months. I ended up torching more out of the crossmember to get the angle and clearance correct, until something goes bump.... Ended up...

    correct, I barely fit in the space above the diff to install that pig, and as much as I ponder it, I cannot figure a good way to drop the oil pan and rig a flange up there right now during the winter. Since this shaft runs at (now 25*) angle, and that crane bed crossmember is not alterable...

    Got the shaft back from my machinist, the shaft fought him and he ended up breaking a few end mills from it hopping out of the cradle, then while cutting the splines his mill got out of sequence, thus--- start over. Prices thus far, machining-$580. Drive line shop flanges/yokes/joint. $150...

    Nice, Machinist called about an hour ago, said he had a plan to finish it up. Basically taking the stock shaft and welding up the PTO side splines, turning it down and cutting 16 splines into it to fit my new high angle 1330 yoke, this yoke has extra long ears so it can run at 30* which...

    Ok, warm weather and off work early today, really sad when you call 35*f and sunny warm,,,, re-installed the old CV shaft on crane drive to check lenght and angle of the dangle. As feared the chassis crossmember was in the way. After much deliberation I came to the conclusion that it had...

    Thanks red, the ultimate fix is a hydraulic setup, I know I will have to convert sooner or later, but this will get me up and rolling for less than a grand hopefully, however I want to start making proactive tracks toward hydraulic so that I'm not stuck when the 10speed mod goes in.

    Wrecker Broken CV Joint

    I doubt the shaft could pass above crossmember, the pic does the actual config no justice. I need to get the CV mocked up and shoot an angle and lenght to start chopping the old shaft for extension. I will likely have to pass through or cut out a section of that crossmember Tune in next time...

    Well I stumbled out of my beach chair and poured myself onto a 3rd world airport flight back to the frozen north,,,,, was -40 here while I was in Honduras, thus I was not looking forward to laying in the snow trying to put the wrecker back together. Machinist neighbor of mine, called me the...

    Thanks guys for the diagrams, Been out trying to knock down an elk for the past week.... I looked for the diagrams but didnt have a day or two to dig through them all. Talked to Jeff Davis about retro fit of a 936 and ultimately that is the way to go if $$$$ wasnt a problem, but for now and...

    yes that double Ujoint was common in the 80s/early 90s GM too, Ford if I remember was the culprit behind the infamous Dana 61 axle that looked like a D60 but nothing interchanged with anything.,, and the cost to rebuild was astronomical, as in you could redo the axles under two trucks for the...

    Wrecker Broken CV Joint

    yes, Im trying to avoid using inferior tactics.... My machinist neighbor looked at it last nite and thinks we can drop the bigger extension housing but due to the shaft coming out of the Pwr Div I will likely have to keep the smaller housing in order to fit a milled end cap/bearing retainer...
