The u-joints of each end of a driveshaft assembly need to line up. If Sargent Snuffy took the driveshaft apart at the splines, then re-assembled it a few splines off, it will be out-of-phase with the other end.
Edited for my mistake:
These metal tubes on top the engine and all of it's fittings and connections (like the blue ones in this pic) are likely culprits
I took mine in. I had no visible sign of issues and no detectable play in the smiles or u-joints. I did have a vibration that was noticeable at high speed. Sure enough they were out of balance. The high speed vibration went away. Now I just have a bit of gear growling coming from the hubs.
Ah.
I'm in the middle of mounting my winch, which is why I started this huck bolt removal thread. The two bolts behind the fuel tank are indeed right where the winch drum bolt onto the frame. They do indeed have come out to mount my winch, mine are backwards too, but I thought they were regular...
Back in the day.... ( I must be getting old). I had a Jeep with a body lift made from machined aluminum pucks..... I wonder if something like that would be a (better?) option for us? Just replace the worn out rubber with aluminum. How much flex does it really need?
Well, I went with what I had as a test. I had some carbide saw blades for my oscillating saw. It cut through the collar like a hot damn all the way to the "bolt". But, even after 20 minutes of hammering, chilling and cussing, it still did not come out.
So.... I figured out where my air leaks from when connected to shop air through the emergency gladhand.
not exactly sure what to do about it yet.
I didn't have time to get dirty and crawl in there to take anything apart, but maybe someone who has can explain it to me.
Here's a couple of pics...
This might just be the way. I've been wanting to get a plasma cutter anyway. Figure in the money I'd spend on the hydraulic tool , and this gets more attractive. Plus it's useful for other things.
Edit: I'm seeing $435 on Amazon right now. Still might be worth it.
Edit my edit: I see that one...
Can you define what you mean by the "collar"? The round section past the hex near the frame or the hex itself?
If it's the round section, I can't imaging this hydraulic cutter taking more than 60 seconds to split it (unless it's too tough for 10 tons). Even if you had to cut twice, that's be...
I've always considered this a bit of a myth, sort of like how people believe that cell phones cause fires at gas pumps.
I can see how passing welding voltages through you car's electronics would fry things. But I'm always welding on things mounted to the frame. The electrical path between my...
So, I'm beginning work on mounting my winch, wondering how to deal with the Huck bolts, when I come across this tool:
Huck collar cutter
It looks like the thing is just a glorified nut splitter for several thousand dollars.
I'm wondering if. Could cut the collars with one of these much less...
