[@samuelallott2604]

You broke a welded diff?! That's a spicy meatball you have there!

[@moogz2478]

Just a tip: the way you have connected the welder to the diff will cause the current to flow through the diff bearing rollers, this will cause arcing across the raceways and rollers leading to pitting, burns and eventual failure. Keep up the good work! - been waiting a while for this one.

[@jasontruman1215]

Slimblocked Titan exactly, you should never let the electricity flow through a bearing or bushing

[@bearfoot25]

Yep, ive been there done that. Desroyed a Ford 9 inch after doing that.

[@jamesfkndean]

Pretty sure they dont care lol that rear axle is done for if they break a shaft or break a ring or pinion.

[@davidwhitten8985]

I came to the comments looking for this. It's definitely not a good thing for the bearings.

[@gullreefclub]

It’s a welded diff the thing is a hand grenade with the pin pulled, that said when I have weld a diff I prefer to use my old tombstone stick welder because you are never going to get everything perfectly clean because the metal has absorbed gear oil into it and Mig and TIG welders don’t weld dirty metal as well as a stick especially when you turn up the heat.

[@brianharrod2726]

@fasterproms we have a rock bouncer and grenaded a Corp 14 bolt that was welded. Best money I can recommend to spend is on a spool.

That axle needs truss. Saucy ride though it's coming along really well. 🔥

[@Hogiewan1]

[@richardharris492]

Softer springs NOT stiffer, the shock controls compression and rebound the spring holds up the sprung weight of the rear of the vehicle.

[@jaydunbar7538]

Yes stiffer, they moved the weight more to the center of the vehicle instead of being front heavy.

[@ziptiejedi5658]

I think you are going to end up having to change that 10 bolt out for something a little stronger. Especially when you start drag racing it. A sticky tire and anything over 400 hp and that 10 bolt will break quicker then you can say hell yeah brother!!!

[@carlramey2378]

Love everything about the build. Ready the truck is contribute truck to the cyclone. But the grille just dont look right it takes the mean look and make it look cheap even though it's not and I mean this with the up most respect. Your the man really only my opinion.

Yeah I appreciate them being creative trying to mix new and old but in this case I think the stock S10 front is the way to go, or at least try to graft that new honeycomb mesh into the stock S10 grille frame.

Well seeing I've broke 5 spools on my race car and I don't think I have that much bad luck he might go threw a shit load more than me and just a question if I haven't already tryed it do u know of any that can take a good beating like I'm talking 3 of the ones I got were over 1800 bucks still broke and it always seems to let go under deceleration I think as soon as you hit the gas well boom it gose lol

[@jamesdoughty1522]

@@tiny180 you talking about full spools or mini spools? I've never seen a full spool break unless a cheap axle snapped and shock loaded the gears, taking everything out with them. Or from a faulty setup...

[@jamesdoughty1522]

@@tiny180 interesting, I guess anything is possible. Since you're running laps, I'd almost think a tight limited slip might be better for your application? I've never ran oval track racing, just drag racing, mudding and rock climbing, so I'm not sure what setup would actually last better for you.

@@tiny180 What kind of axle are you running?

[@disgruntledegghead6923]

Get yourself some Grip Lock Ties, you'll consider them permanent once you lock em down. They're reusable too, aircraft grade zip ties. Nice progress! If only I could get rid of the wheel hop on my S10. It's a tough battle with leaf springs.

[@disgruntledegghead6923]

@Mr. Morningstar I considered traction bars, but I like the "sleeper" look. They do not fit that look at all. Someone had suggested mounting them more inboard, but that requires fabrication that I don't want to do considering how effective they really aren't. I used to be 4 cylinder 5 speed, and I could make the wheels hop if I tried. Not for long, but they would hop. Now that I have a 5.3 I can shake everything out of the bed and probably violently break something if I try. I am better off with a 4 link, but I haven't really decided which one to go with, and if/when I do I have to worry about many other things breaking after that. I appreciate your input though, not many people want to take the time to type their advice any more.

If you wanna really do the welded diff right next you don’t have to plate it but it helps, if you can buy duel shield and weld it that way it really melts everything together I did it on my truck and I didn’t put a plate in there and has not broke or cracked or anything

[@CosRacecar]

Looks like an ESAB EM 215ic welder. I have the same one and love it! Never tried to weld a diff with it tho.

[@baysidefabrication]

CoreyO it’s a fantastic welder. Just picked it up last year and was coming from a miller I had for 15+ years. It’s a night and day difference. The shop has a nice HTP multi process I havnt played with yet but it looks nice. We’ll keep y’all posted. Happy welding!

That small bend might make things easier, but it makes the strength about 10% of a straight pipe. Defective strength vs crush strength for a head on load.

Rear down tubes won’t meet road race CRCs, possibly. And keep the 3 link, far superior to 4 link for bind and handling adjustments. Just fix the weak points. 350 rear springs sound awful stiff in the rear for a light in the ass solid axle.

[@elkvis]

Maybe your welded diff wouldn't break if you used a proper welding process on it. Short circuit MIG just won't give you the penetration you need on that thick of material. You need to get your MIG into spray arc mode or even go to stick with 6010, or if you're really serious, go with TIG.
