Pneumatic Pavement
Welding the spider gears in my truck?
I have a 2 wheel drive s10 that ive lifted a little, its my hunting/fun rig that gets on the pavement too. it has an open diff as of now but i want a cheap locker so i can at least get out to the light/easy trails at the local offroad park.
i cant afford a mechanical/pneumatic/electric locker. i have easy access to replacement rear ends but im wondering if welding my spider gears will cause anything to break? or should i go for a spool (which is more in my price range, just never installed one before.)
This is called a Lincoln (welder) locker. I would NEVER do this on a street driven vehicle. The other guys are right. The wheels on turns need to be able to rotate at different speeds.
These axles are held in by C clips as it is. If the side gears break as a result of being welded to the spider gears. The C clips will fall out and this would allow the axles to fly out.
You don't want to be going down the road at 65 mph and have the axle fly out.
DON'T DO IT.
