Just wanted to show my diff. Welded it the other day.

looks pretty strong axle shaft will break before weld

I see the welds breaking to be honest. i would build them up a little more.

Looks like a good start

98CherokeeLimit4x4

Yea bottom right welds look smaller

dschneider

Those are a pic from each side. I hope it snaps axles before anything else.

I plan on it. Going to Rausch in two weeks for the weekend.

98CherokeeLimit4x4

Doesn't matter lol. Dana 35's can take sum hell welded with 34 ltbs for 2 years still trucking

dschneider

Lol. No it's not a Dana 35. It's a 8.25, 27 spline.

Personally I would have filled the teeth up with weld. Looks like there is a lot of porisity in the weld, or it is a crappy pic

What he said. Trash builds up in the weld am causes those pin holes an makes for a very weak weld. Unless it's just the pic. I build boats for the navy an I'm used to them being inspect beyond belief. 1 pin whole in a 10" run an they will make u gouge the whole thing out lol

dschneider

I think it's just the pic. The guy who welded is someone I trust and he has his done on his cj-5

sure hope he didnt overheat that while welding it.... if he did hope he has plasma cutter to cut the center pin out if you blow them cuz it may have swelled. but deff add more weld to those

not to be a total noob.but does that lock the diff or what?
