I'm removing my torque converter on the Cummins and as usual some converter bolts were not tight even though I used blue thread lock and torqued them according to spec.

I need thoughts on using NORD LOCKS instead of thread lock liquids............
 
The cv axle to differential axle shafts on hummers/hmmwv are called half-shafts. (Idk why).
Factory is locktite AND Nordlocks. Use both. They compliment each other.

And vibratite brand got better ratings than loctite brand. Hurts my feelings cuz Ive beed a loctite fan for decades, but thread locker is ALL about performance.

Want to go a step further? Drill the head of the bolt and safety wire 2 bolt heads together at a time. But use actual safety wire and safety wire pliers or don't bother.
 
Yea, that NSN for the HMMWV is 5310-01-457-3292.
I found a set of bolts that are slightly longer so lock nuts can be used on the billet converter to keep it tight.
