    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    Probably will just cage the wheels, jack up one tire, and rotate them one at a time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    Sure, but we are talking about two different products. The American 22 ton jack stands are $400 more. I am not a business that needs these stands every day. If the difference was $60, then I would have bought them. At $550, I would have made my own, but at $150 from HF, it was not worth my time...

    I don’t need the height….You are comparing 7 tons capacity with a ratcheting lift made from thin bent steel to a 1” pin with all thick gusseted and welded steel. They are apples and oranges. Granted the ones you pointed out have a place and are nice…. The HF ones I am using are stronger...

    Normally I agree, but the design of these is pretty hard to screw up and there is a huge over rating. https://www.harborfreight.com/22-ton-heavy-duty-jack-stands-with-locking-pin-yellow-58623.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I did not plan on doing both. I already had the 3.07’s with dual lockers in storage before the Eco Hubs existed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have the 22 ton Harbor Freight ones. The saddle does not wrap the axle at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Also, do I need to do anything to get the intermediate axle to have oil in the torque divider? I assume that is fully drained. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Any concerns with running my engine while the front wheels are off and I am in jack stands? I have done it with cars, but these trucks are more vibrating and heavy. Wheels are chocked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    Right now, I am waiting on a new u joint but I will try when it is all hooked up. So just to clarify. Chock tires, jack up one intermediate tire, Start truck, put in mode, remove parking brake, spin lifted tire? Do the Detroit lockers cause any issues here since I am manually trying to spin...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Sorry to hear that. I know every time my back starts aching, I just confirm this is can only be a temporary hobby. We will still enjoy your knowledge if you care to stick around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    @fuzzytoaster well that makes me feel better. Either way, this is not an Eco hub thread. I appreciate those that offered opinions, but I am pretty well set in what I am doing ….. at least for now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Noticed something…. My air line port for the intermediate diff had a plastic plug that was broken. Inside, I can see rust. Sprayed a small amount of Wd40 then put the air line on. Is there an easy way to check to see if it is frozen or functional? My guess is if no have a problem, it means my...

    Got front and rear in today. Noticed I had a bad u joint cup so I ordered a new one. I will have to finish next week for part to arrive. In the mean time, I will be doing CTIS and inner hub seals next.

    After about an hour of trying, failed to get the front in. It keeps hitting something and I cannot figure out what. Gonna clean the rtv off in the morning and try again.
