We always used hot oil baths to heat up our bearings and such for install. That little heater is pretty neat.

Did ya lock tight them ring bolts?

Why do you heat up the ring gear and bearings?

Could you post any pics of the gears inside the carrier for what makes up a TrueTrac?
I'm really curious as to how this works for you.
No clutches + No mechanisms = No maintenance! (just gears meshing together)

Looking good Jrod, sucks some body screwed up and you can`t work on the ship.

 

[Sodbuster]

Cool Jred.

What gears do you have now?

3.42's, these 4.11's are gonna really make a difference.

That rig will launch like a rocket sled...

Yessir, you know I did.

I heat up bearings and such for easier installs, the bearings will swell a little from the heat and make the install go smoother. The ring gear dropped right on but the bearings still needed to be pressed on. It just a habit of mine doing installs to heat parts. Doesn't hurt anything, I have a temperature crayon that melts at 250 degrees so I never get anything hotter than that. All heat treated parts can handle that.

I'll see what I can get for you on pics of the internals.

I talked with Ron about them and felt comfortable getting them. My truck isn't made in the USA either.

So could I put these same parts in the oven set a 225 and get the same results?
So basically heating up makes things expand so they slide on easier and don't scrape off material. I never thought about doing that.

No biggie if you can't get any pics. I'm just really curious how well this unit works.
