Hey guys. I have two 10.25's sitting here, one is just a shell and the other would need a new ring and pinion and carrier, but i have two of the basic axles here.
That one isnt as bad as it looked in the pic. there is only one spot where it was actually blue and with some emry cloth I cleaned up most of the peeling, we "dimpled" that bearing surface in a few spots to make sure the bearing seated as tight as the other side. The bearing fits as good as new on the spindle now, but it will never be used to haul ANYTHING ever again, except my moms butt. Not even wood, Im just not going to risk it.
This truck's going to be retired as soon as we get my moms green truck's new engine in it. But this thing keeps breaking down so much we are always working on it instead of getting to work on the new engine for the green truck.
So hopefully this thing will only be used for another month and then MAYBE it will eventually get a new rearend in it as part of its retirement rebuild.
