See will it’s still holding. Camper fully loaded and extra 55 gallons of water in the bed.

my 98 c3500 crew cab long bed 5 speed gets 20 mpg consistently but i drive 7 miles to work each way and the highest speed limit is 45 mph and a few stop lights. in my opinion 2wd and manual trans is the key to milage. i also have a new ip and I'm pretty sure its not putting out the same amount...

you war wagon have terrible luck

OK well I've been driving the truck around for a week now a little harder than usual maxing out boost at 12 lbs and hitting big bumps and I think if it was going to fail it would have done so already

Its a half inch thick tube welded all the way out with 7018 2 inches away from the pig so it should be OK. I hope

Lol if I can figure out how to post a pic I would. Not too tech savvy. Suprized I can even post

OK its all welded up gonna throw it in and see if my welds will hold up

You mean your Texas tiggin as some call it But with 3 rods and not just 2?

How sure are u guys that the tubes are cast steel? I just read somewhere that the tubes are Dom steel. And I am going forward with my plans seeing as how I have more time than money at the moment. Also seems that using cast tubes would be cost inefficient for the factory. But I could very well...

Ive already changed every bearing in the rear when I had it apart there's no bearing on the endof the pinion anymore because both the housing and pinion are shot. Can't remember what else is wrong with it at the moment.

Not welding anything to the housing leaving some of the original tube and going off of that. I already have the diff so its the plan for this weekend.

The housing is shot so its not worth dumping any money into it and my plan is to cut and weld the axle tubes and then just swap the shafts. I've been looking on cl for a long time and people want more than I'm willing to spend for a newer one with factory discs. A 6010 open root with a 7018...

I've got a 98 c3500 srw crew cab lb 5speed 6.5 sle and I've never seen another one and I just want to keep it rolling

OK how much do they want? And will they bolt in or need perches rewelded? I've already got one I picked up for 250 that has no wear marks on the ring gear and looks to be low mile. The one I'm running now came in the truck and was run out of oil before I got it and wiped out the outside of the...

Because they are expensive around here and I picked up the rear for 250. Haven't seen a 14 bolt ff on cl or in the junk yards that would bolt in yet. How many trucks in 98 got a ff that were srw? Just want to know if my plan will work

OK everyone I've got a 98 c3500 and the rear diff is past borrowed time. It has the removable drums while the axles are still bolted in and its a srw and its hard to find a rear diff that will just bolt in. So I bought a old rear out of a 73-87 that's in good shape and my plan is to cut the...

Leroy I bought a pmd cooler from u and I want to update my signature with it but I can't figure out how to do it.

U can go to my vehicles in my profile to see a picture of what is in my truck now. I don't k ow how to post it

The rear end was run out of oil when I bought the truck so it dropped the pinion and ate the outside of the ring gear off so I took it apart and threw new berrings in it and cleaned up everything that was welded together and knocked off the cracked teeth on the ring gear and I think that it...
