Another shaved 14 bolt. I still remember the first one I ever did over 10 years ago and it taking forever to do (cut off wheel, not sure what my thinking was). Now it's less than 15 mins from the time I pick up the sawsall till I put the grinder down after blending.

Truss glued all the way on and some obligatory weld shots.

Never done one but yeah that's something we can do.
Might be some time but looking at your work here we may need to get aquatinted . Thanks for the reply man :rockon:
 
AAM 9.25 did today at work. Outside of the axle shaft seals a dumb easy diff to set up.

Which I guess I never came out and said it but I now work at Oliver's full time. Man what a refreshing change it was to go from Manufacturing Engineering to working in a shop full time. With that said if you need any driveshaft work give a ring.

Just some randoms from work.

I wish I could've heard the sound this made when it broke.

So great to see someone who is passionate about what they do and let that translate to quality and innovative work. Good on you Chris.
 
Little 10 bolt re-gear with a Yukon dura-grip. This thing was nasty, spider gears self destructed themselves. Took forever to get all the metal out of the housing.

Slag peels like this make me happy 🤷🏽‍♂️

Finally pull the rear diff in my explorer, was a bit of a bitch to get out.

Spider gear said not today.

😳 yeah I'm sure this wouldn't make any noise at highway speed.

Limited slip clutches are toast, ears are gone on quite a few of them. Passenger side literally had no friction material left.

Gonna call ECGS tomorrow and get some parts on the way to freshen it back up. Luckily the gears are still fine.
