Pretty sure i spotted you in modesto today. 3/16 around 9:45ish flying down orangeburg. i was getting in my truck leaving
Thanks! The shoulder belts feel great. I feel like they could mount a tad lower behind my shoulders, so Ill be ordering some eyelets that I will run upside down under the tabs on my shoulder bar. Other than that, I love them!
Smokinu, yup that was me! I was out there visiting family
I used to throw red loctite on the bolt and I would put some RTV on the splines.
Buy a real SYE. Fixed.
If all else fails, you can always retap with a different size. maybe a LH thread so it is less likely to back out?I've thought about putting RTV on the splines, but the RTV would need to be pretty hard to make a difference. Maybe Ill throw some black RTV on there for the next go-round.
Yeah, if I cant get this figured out, I guess that will be my only option..
What do you guys think of cranking down on that bolt? The torque spec of the bolt is ~110ft/lbs... Will I end up stripping the threads I tapped in the output shaft?
Well all of the rod ends in my steering are shot. Talked to Dan at ruffstuff and he is replacing all of them under warranty.
He offered to upgrade me to 7/8 heims for the cost of new bungs (like $60). Should I do it? I'm not sure if I want to spend the time redoing all my steering but I may end up going that route. It would require drilling out my knuckles/pitman arm again and I'd have to cut up my current tie rod and drag link for new bungs. New alignment too. I guess I'm just getting lazy.
Buy more tube, build your links with the new/larger joints and donate your old steering links to me, or sell them.. ha.
