    Remanned 2.73 differentials

    They are gov contracted remans as well, not some offshoot company doing them. They are AMG certified/OEM or however you wish to call it.

    Remanned 2.73 differentials

    Bought 2 more M998s on a whim while my current one is in fab shop, Finally tracked down 2.73 remanned still in box 2.73 differentials so i can swap all mine out. Anyone else looking? If so maybe can do a group buy and snag a better deal.(I would post in group buy but no permission)

    Grenaded rear end?

    Thanks for the offer, I'm actually looking at ARBs if we can cram it all in with the dt360. Got a bit busy at work so haven't had time to finish measuring and get a cad model up and running on it. At this point predominantly getting a list together to make sure everything will work well...

    Chassis will be fine with the weight, handling can also be improved upon with a new suspension system designed for the load etc. So not to worried about a drastic change in handling that will make it undrivable or dangerous to drive.

    DT360 is about 1200 w/o fluids and depending what's all bolted too it. The DT466 is about 1475 w/o fluids. And depending what's all bolted to it as well. So I sent a few emails off to look at suspension alternatives and to see what they'd suggest as far as beefiness goes. Still looking into...

    The DT360 is 2-5" shorter on length, width, height from my understanding Fan hub to valve rear is 37.5. DT466 is 41. I could probably go the DT466 route, but I would assume that would require alot more frame modifications as well as housing.

    Picked up a DT360 this week. Will be swapping it into the M998. Probably start a build thread on it. And keep a spreadsheet on the costs. Althoigh the costs will likely be skewed as we can design and machine the mounts, lift it will need,, etc in house at my company. Not sure what I'm going to...

    I've looked at a 4BT as well. And there's a hmmwv around here that has one. I'll have to ask him how much modifications he had to do on it.

    Grenaded rear end?

    Yeah the long main line was fine but where it comes down into the assembly on the RH side it was caught up next to the RH frame rail.

    Grenaded rear end?

    Definitely was the rear differential like initially thought awhile back. Also when tearing apart found a brake line that was about to go out from running on the inside frame. Swapping all the lines for braided lines and going to move them a bit. Hardest part on removal was the top bolts on the...

    From my limited reading today,alphas are helical and weaker than the ones on the hmmwv, but hold better with higher speeds in regards to heat etc and prevent brake swaying when stopping hard. Also read where someone remachined the geared hubs for uniballs, and basically redid the complete...

    Doing all the work that I can myself. Just curious if it is worth swapping to alphas or not. From what I'm seeing really only if swapping engines etc would it be worth it.

    If I'm going to swap Haven't looked at the engine yet to see which variant it is really. Casting is 12555506 11-19-L so nov-19th year I'm unsure of but in the 2000s I'd assume.

    Blew up my rear dif this winter as well as a few other things. Decided to start tearing into it. It's a 91 soft top m998 6.5 NA currently looking at the following. Upgrade halfshafts to 12k (has the 10k on). My main question is it looks like the alpha hubs are also a good idea. Are the H1...

    Yep new differential and possibly shaft. Or input shaft whatever they call it

    Grenaded rear end?

    I will have to check. I took this video a few months ago. But I can basically free turn the rearend where it goes into the differential by hand no matter what its in. Assuming that's not suppose to happen.

    Question on aftermarket parts and fitment

    Didn't get it on a lift yet. We did pick it up with a backhoe. Looks like my differentials are the culprit. Likely from putting pressure on the brakes with tires spinning in low. Also have some half shaft damage. Sent out a email to a few companies that I know at one time had developed and...
