Apparently This Diff I Can't Break... We'll See About That!!

[@Michael_Mears]

3:50 yes, the grinder produces some heat, but on the structural hollow sections, cutting them length-wise releases stresses built in from manufacturing. Cut a face out of square hollow section (SHS) or rectangular hollow section (RHS) and it's usual for the remaining piece to spring inwards a little. The face cut from the section, as you've shown, will nearly always curl back on itself. Use a jigsaw with a metal blade, which produces far less heat than a grinder, and it will still curl back on itself.

Harrop, Yeek!! Have a look at the small diameter hemisphere. They could have made it bigger and stronger, it is a lot smaller than the powerlock LSD. Also, the cross-shaft in the Eaton is piss-weak, three piece and pissy diameter. Small spider gears inside a small carrier. The locking engagement ring is also a weak area - and then there is the issue of it unlocking when you change direction! In comparison to a Pro-locker, the Eaton is a joke.

[@georgeazizi7760]

I don't know if you changed the front diff centre as well, but if you didn't know, your front and rear axles will have different speeds at the wheels creating torsion and stress within the axels. Also, your odometer is also probably out of alignment as it is but it will definitely be worse with this diff centre changed. Also, if the previous diff centre used red lock tight, it needs heat to liquefy the lock tight in order for you to remove the bolt, you will also need to do the same thing with the new diff if you ever need to remove the crown gear again.

@@JS-tb9hu When we make custom high strength axles and diff centres, we correct it by using an oxy and rapid cooling to pull it straight. However if the distortion is excessive we remachine the bearing diameters and faces to bring all diameters concentric, and square. Most customers get us to remachine them as it gives us an opportunity to to run bigger bearings or even spherical roller bearings which handle axle misalignment better when the axle gets twisted during high torque loadings.

@@billweber1340 So heat one side while cooling the other to literally expand one side and contract the other hence straightening the bend?

[@billweber1340]

@@JS-tb9hu almost. If you heat the 'high' side the metal becomes soft. It will then compress from the stress in the opposing side. Bring it to cherry red as soon as possible, then dump a dripping wet rag on it to quench it. You want the heated spot to be the size of about a 50c coin.

The reality we can't ignore; 1. When you die the real you( the spirit inside your body) either goes to Heaven or hell. 2. Who goes to hell? those who don't believe at Christ as the savior. e. Who goes to Heaven? Those who believe at Christ as the savior. No works can save you, there is no physical thing you can do to get saved but you are only saved through faith at what Jesus did for you as simple as that. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. In other words if you want to go to heaven after your death you must confess with your mouth and believe that Jesus Christ was crucified and he shed his blood for your sins at the cross and was buried but risen again on the third day and alive in heaven now. After believing at Christ as the savior you must change your ways and try to stay away from bad works or sins as hard as possible, you must show that you are a new individual in Christ. e.g stopping fornication, getting drunk, homosexual acts, masturbation, pornography e.t.c. As a human you will still fall at some sins of course as no human is perfect, but you must not swim in sin you must try your best to fight against sins and live a righteous life.
