I haven’t been here in a while or at least haven’t posted in a while but after signing in all I saw was ads stacked up one after another, after a minute or two it cleared up but it was strange.

The 8.25 can take some abuse but it’s not an axle that I would spend money on. You can find a 83/4 from an earlier pickup, 60s to 72. After that I would use the 9.25 you can find a LS in a 2wd pickup with disk brakes. One thing you don’t say is the bolt pattern that you want 5 on 4.5 or 5 on 5.5…

That's like saying I'd like a $5000 hooker but only want to spend $500.... You get what you pay for...

That will clean up the weeds in the yard...

Check out the body mounts, if the cab is sagging on the crossmember it will mess up shift linkage.

It's 13 degrees above zero in north Iowa at the moment, a minus 19 day before yesterday. I'm ok with 13 above.

Are you positive you have removed all the bolts?

Tell him, he might have had it happened to him and knows the fix...

That's OK little feller, maybe tomorrow will be a better day...[/ATTACH]

I don't remember ever seeing larger than 1 3/4" for a truck...

I'd like to find a two wheel drive like it...good score!

Replace the rocker because if I remember correctly there plenty cheap and there rust everywhere but you just can't see it yet.

What is your timing set at?

Try Calvert Suspension

The only thing I can think of is its better to snap an axle than the differential, it is a 6000 lbs vehicle. The threaded nut is very small and it might have been a just very random fail. I don't know just glad it's fixed and damage was contained to axle, 4x4 hub and wheel hub. One thing...
