I DO like those axles. we make a set of the d44 35 spline shafts for the 44 housing, and they follow a similar neck up, neck down design, less unsprung weight and reinforced at the stress points. Good buy Shawn.

JR, not so sure the housing is weak as it is the shafts. Although I believe this housing is much lighter duty than say those 70’s 3/4 ton front axle housings of old.

JK, is back together. I took one lousy pic today, here you go



It all went back together pretty easy other than me grabbing the short shaft and installing it on the long side.  :rolleyes: lol, I had to review the picture of the shafts (all 4 together) to confirm I somehow did that....

Worth noting the Currie housing has a bunch of adjustment built into it which is very nice. I had a 2 inch frame end track bar drop bracket for the lift kit installed which I was able to remove and use the mount on the axle to come up 2 inches at housing end. While I had it off I pressed in new bushing on both ends of track bar.

Other than that it was pretty straight forward, bought a 2 foot piece of rubber hose to extend vent & replaced a bottom shock bolt that was seized to the bushing on old axle.

I drove it on the front driveshaft into it's bay as I await the rear driveshaft. Once that comes I will install it, pull the front shaft and do a proper break in of the new diff. I think the next focus is to finish that front axle that has been taking up my large work bench for several months now.

I sell Randy's parts I think that in of itself pretty much sums it up if nothing else.

As far as Tate, he's impressed me with what he actually knows tech wise about things. And yes, I have dealt with some frustrating techs before. I also consider Tate a friend on a personal level.  :likebutton:

Depends on what the parts were. If it was the parking brake, I can attest to the fact that it hasn’t rolled down the hill it’s parked on over the last couple months. Other than that, can’t help you.

Ok, back on task. Spoke with Jesse at High Angle Driveline’s this morning, new rear cv shaft is supposed to ship first of next week. All goes well I’ll get it installed and get you some better pictures. I need to touch up the paint on the axle, muscling it around by myself scratched it up a bit.

I did paint the housing, the calipers are not new. Why would I paint them as they have 88k on them? Maybe the replacements will get painted, or come painted. I believe there is a large brake ugrade for them.

I discussed it at length with Jesse, who’s been doing this as long as anyone. The total measured length was 47.875 honestly I could have gambled and if it was Off Road only went non cv. However, there was a chance going non cv I might get a vibration. So for $150 roughly more I went cv & then if I do a long arm conversion done the road it won’t matter.

OK, so finally the rear new cv rear driveshaft showed up late Friday along with the new t-case flange. High angle drivelines did the work and Jess does quality work but he's taking quite a bit longer than normal.

So Saturday morning the wife and I went for coffee and picked up the box from our drop box. Packaged fairly well.





and yep, that's right using Ford cv joint head w/ bolts..

Even marked the two sections just in case you had to take it apart which I did not.



And sorry, I got in such a hurry I forgot to snap a picture of the new flange for the t-case output. Threw a little gasket sealer on internal splines of the flange and torqued it down to 150# (range is 140-160)

So after getting the front end buttoned up we moved on to the rear and since Great Lake Off Road makes these bomb proof girdles for spicer yokes (and I know that guy personally  :tongue:) so I decided to use a set on our rear yoke. GLO makes them for the GM corporate 14 bolt and has the Sterling rear axle yoke in development at the moment. Cough, cough SQ D...... :popcorn:

So after adding a bit of red loctite the low profile bolts were torqued into place.

Normally on a 9 rear I would run one of our pinion guards too. However, for this build I am not. I'm trying to be weight conscious.









Then I pulled the front shaft, threw it back into two wheel drive and parked it back in its bay to wait until tomorrow morning. At that time when it's cool out I will do a break in process on the new rear set up. Essentiallly driving it for 8-10 miles no longer than 15 minutes and then parking it in a cool spot for a cool down of 30 minutes. I will do this several times. After 300 or so miles I will be changing out the gear oil for some good high dollar lube probably in a 75w -140 weight. The deep gear set will be subject to some heat which is part of the reason for the extended break in process.

Looks good Shawn - so, essentially, you're heat treating the new gears/assembly etc. while knocking off the burrs etc.?

Essentially yes, granted the gears were already heat treated (side note my grandfather did this for a living in the heat treat at Warner gear which is now known as auburn gear). However, following this process will help eliminate any softening of the gears or burnt bearings. Which would then lead to premature failure possibly.


Edit: further side note, Randy’s owns machines that came out of auburn gear. Tate, how did I know this fact? Btw my grandfather retired from there in the early 70’s & passed away in late 90’s, Randy’s didn’t acquire machines until maybe ten years or so ago.

Glad to see some progress on that jeep.  Axle and wheels look a lot better in person guys....  It's a cool set up.
