Holy crap, what's up with the front/right wheel?? Angle just doesn't look right :?: Broken axle? It's just the angle of the pic, I guess, Bro. It's got a lot of flex. More flex than the pictures below. I get more flex now since I got rid of those POS Rubicon Express control arms and upgraded to Cur...

Let me throw this out here rather than starting another thread. I was probably active in a bunch of S-10 forums and came and went with them as the interest rose and fell. Yes, it always rose after it fell. One of the forums was S-10Planet.com. I recently ran into the owner, who joined my local off r...

............................Neither. MML and be happy. I am afraid that is the bottom line and the sad truth. A SuperLift 6" ZR2 appeared, here in town, about 10 months ago. I have seen 4 different drivers in the rig since then. I am fully aware that I live in SE KY but, those four guys could not b...

I have found that the key is to hit the rigs just after "sun up". By 10 am it is miserable. By 10 you are sweating in the shade under a rig. At 10:30 you are done and pounding yourself on the back for a job well done! :D Then, at 10.45 you discover that you misdiagnosed the problem and you realize t...

Man, we are all over the board on this one!

If, this was me, I would start checking the front end components and not worry about the TC, Tranny or diff yet. Make sure the TBs and front end components are good.

F9K9

It really sounds like something simple that requires you to pull all of your hair out before tripping over the answer. I would start looking and connections and grounds being corroded due to your climate.

They will work for awhile but, they always seem to eventually fail. Now, that I can finally solder, I am going back over several electrical mods and doing them properly.

Steve, very little load is actually on the threads themselves. Currie specs them to only 45 ft lbs. The vast majority of the load is below the threaded section on the tapered shaft.

Napa hooked me up when Fastenal was a bust. $3.49 out the door. 1/2" x 20 die. I didn't have a 1" 12 pt socket but, a 1" boxed end wrench did the trick. I dropped by the house at lunch and did the deed.

F9K9

Well, I just realized another downfall. :lol: (looking skyward now) The threaded portion spins pretty easily in the other part of the TRE. It's going to be tough to hold the tapered portion without scarring it. It's located under the grease boot in this photo. http://www.currieenterprises.com/cestor...
