What hold s the axles in once u change to mini spoon. Verses old carrier with axle clips?
@K204683 жыл бұрын
With this axle, there are 8 bolts at the hub end that hold the axle in, no clips on this model.

Was just wondering how your Mini spool worked out in the 14 bolt? I just installed one in mine and am also a truck puller. Thanks
@K204685 жыл бұрын
So far so good. I have seen a couple similar ones fail. One thing with the installation is to leave the sides of the diff case tight rather than grind them to fit loose. That makes them a lot stronger and will last.

Is it good like for a daily? It's reliable?
@K204687 жыл бұрын
Wouldn't be good for a daily as it locks the axle fully even light turns would be challenging. They are strong though depending on horsepower and tire size. The bigger of each would determine how it would hold up

I have not had a problem at all. That being said, I have put VERY few street miles with my set-up. Less than ten. My truck is a trailer queen to and from truck pulls.

@K204689 жыл бұрын
+Jay Walker I used the Dorman 610-194 originally designed for a dually application. Same size lug threads as original, just with a longer length. I picked them up from my local Advance Auto for $1.99 a piece.

After getting my truck running, it only took 20 miles for the rotors to slip off center under hard braking and vibrate above 30 mph... I am going to turn the heads of two of the studs in a lathe so they go inside the rotor hole press fit. This will center the rotor and prevent it from slipping on the other studs.
@K204689 жыл бұрын
Jay Walker The Dorman brand studs I used fit the rotors holes perfectly, but the splined section was a bit shorter so the ID of the stud hole in the rotor didn't have contact with the splines just the smooth shoulder of the stud. I just used my press and pushed them in REAL hard, just enough to deform the head of the stud just a bit and it was perfect. Sorry to hear you had the trouble. My truck isn't a daily driver, but i have about 200 miles on my setup and smooth sailing so far.

When you do the next overview video, think about including some info about wheel fitment. I worked on that today and found the 16" Chevy pickup wheels don't clear the 77 Cadillac Eldorado caliper I am using. The 16" diameter of the wheel is okay, but the wheel needs to have about 1/2 " less backspace than stock to position the rim center outboard away from the caliper. My buddy suggested I grind some off the side of the caliper, but I am going to try to find a pickup wheel with less backspace that will still fit under the fender of my 1948 Chevy panel truck. Maybe a 17" Chev or Dodge wheel will fit.

Thats a good idea I will put some thought into it. My swap is with front calipers with no park brake.

Thank's very much for Your reply ! I would like to put bigger Tyres , cause we got some offroadparks here ... One Last question please , with which Kind of Dana axeles would you compare ( find equal ) with the 9,5" 14 bolt ? Kind regards.
@K2046810 жыл бұрын
You're very welcome. The Dana 60 is equal in size and weight to the 9.5 14. I was built in both semi and full float designs. The best place to find either would be in 67-72 3/4 ton chevys, and in 70's model F250 fords. Dodges my have them as well not for sure on that one.

Hello, I would like to ask You ,how strong is a 14Bolt 9,5" from a 1984 GMC surburban WITH 6,2 V8 Diesel Engine ? ( NP 208,no Electric windowopener )and do they have a Locker ? (in compare to a 10,5" fullfloater)
@K2046810 жыл бұрын
The 9.5 is a good rear overall, it just depends what you will be using it for. In a stock application they are very strong and can handle a lot of weight. Their main draw back is the semi float axle. They were available with lockers from the factory as well as the aftermarket. Check in your glove box for the "Service Parts Identification" label. It will have a G80 locking differential listing if you have it. GM used these (and still do today) for many years, they hold up well and can handle a larger tire and or more power. Just keep in mind the semi float axle limits what can be done, by the strength of the shaft itself.

Do you have to reset the gears when putting in a mini spool or is it just bolt in?
@K2046810 жыл бұрын
With the way these rears are built, they have adjusting nuts for the carrier instead of shims. All you have to do is check the backlash with an indicator, mark the location of the caps and where the ring gear is bolted to the carrier, then you can loosen and remove the carrier separate the halves install the spool. Using your marks, reinstall all parts, with the adjusting nuts, reset the backlash to your measurement then you're good to go. You won't have to touch the pinion so it makes the job a lot easier.
@K2046810 жыл бұрын
Hey JEEP, Short answer no long answer yes. I'll explain. The 14 bolt has two carrier types. The first is 4.10 and numerically lower ratio, meaning anything 4.10 or higher ratio (3.73, 3.42 and so on) will fit that particular carrier. The other carrier is for 4.56 and numerically higher gears (4.88, 5.13 and so on). I'll assume that since you don't already have 4.56s you have the 4.10 type carrier. Stock GM 4.56s won't fit your carrier, but there is good news. The aftermarket has "THICK" gear sets available that allow you to put all ratios (4.56 thru 5.38) on your original carrier. There are many companies with these available.
