Welded my diff up. I broke it :-( :-(

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Welded my diff up. I broke it :-( :-(

Post by martinholmesuk » Thu Mar 05, 2009 6:24 pm

Alright, after reading a ton of threads on welding up diffs for extra traction, i went ahead and welded mine up.


I went to pull out of my garage, and I just roasted my autobox. I figured that maybe there was some slag left in the bearing, so i dropped it into 1st and lo and behold something broke loose.
MY FUCKING DRIVE LINE.

I'm really pissed at all this BS talk. I welded my junk really well. And now my driveline is twisted up like a damn pretzel.

You are all a bunch of shit talkin Jerks.

What the hell did you all do differently?
