berman 5315 Posted December 20, 2017 Cool! You could have saved some money (and spent it elsewhere) by not buying the output shaft. They are not problematic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyjcClod 389 Posted December 22, 2017 It turned up! Thanks again for all the advice. I now have something to do over Christmas. PS: How many people have locked the diffs on thier trucks (is that a good idea or not) I have heard putting 2000000 silicon gel in the diffs works superb to give teh truck better grip when on dust, gravel, dirt or uneven surfaces etc. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topforcein 1764 Posted December 22, 2017 that's the kind of pic i like to see. i see you already started on the driver figure. one tip i will give you is assemble as much of the shell as you can before you paint that way you wont get any colour difference in the seperate panels. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is one of those things where because it was a cheap 'hop up' it was nice to add to your basket, for the sake of $11usd and selling at a loss you might as well chuck it in now you have it. If it makes you feel any better, I bought two of those #56530 reinforced bevel diff sets on a whim, went to install one, it sounded like a dog chewing gravel, uninstalled it and now the both sets sit in my parts boxes 😁 Nice haul for Christmas! 😊 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds like it's not a good idea? Is that "dog chewing gravel" sounds normal to you? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
