New England Mod & Meetup Renaissance group

This would actually be cool though

 

Taking bets.

1 - does it come out without a hammer.

2 - can it even go back on, at all.

I'm expecting to need to hit the dollar store for a cutting board to put something together for the winter.

 

It can if you're mad enough

 

No

Maybe


I have some galvanized sheet metal if you want fancy.

 

@crashngiggles
Hey, are you following the F1 $Cap drama today?

 

Out AND in with a hammer

 

Do it to the rear doors like the AC.

Yes, Yes. If there is enough hammering, anything is possible for that part.

 

Yeah my diffs still have the stock shit in them. That and front pads will be on my list. At crash or elsewhere within reason.

 

Hmm I’m at 21k miles so I’ll prolly wait til spring to do the fluids.

so what’s the norm, bring food or just buy some stuff and share like the bbq idea at the meetup

 

I think the closest we have to a norm would be around lunch getting a pizza. To be honest on mod days food takes it back seat to work at hand and hanging out then just after lunch we get hungry and either get food and continue or work thru and finish up.

If you don't get squared away with your blocks early in the week you are welcome to come by one afternoon and we will switch out your blocks.



I dropped the ball this week on doing a poll for a meetup and for next mod day. We need a new op
I was with Jared all day at the overland expo and we never talked about the next Taco garage (Wilbraham) date. But it was a really good time.

For the upcoming Lawrence day I need to confirm with my welder friend and @Brownmatthall on a day we can make it work.
I know @CttAznRanger has stuff and anyone else is fluids. I have a few easy things once I get the wiring done.

 

@Brownmatthall

You called it on the blocks. They are upside-down.

I think that means they're going to be side specific... have to take both sides apart at the same time instead of one side then the other

 

That’s not an easy task.
If that axle moves one ioda . Well you know the results

 

Nah, with the center pin in the leafs there's nothing to really worry about. It will align the axle back where it goes.

 

Ahhh forgot about that. Mine was realigned the same way stupid me. Lol

 

So I reached out to Dobinson on instagram (since you gotta do it on socials to get a relatively quick response) and he told me that the logo can be upside down but they are for sure backwards, the longer side has to be facing the rear

 

Our driveshafts act like a a cardan setup. Where pinion angles are required to be lessened rather than at the same angle as the transfer case in relation to a single driveshaft. Both angles balancing out. But our trucks require an angle that is lessened to the carrier bearing and then and only then will you have vibration free driving.

 

If I'm reading you right, then hopefully the block being reversed will lead to.. at least happierness

 

I mean shit, I should probably do my fluids too.
EDIT: I would say do my bumper too, but the fender liners haven't arrived yet.

 

My truck is living proof!
