Ran and bled tonight. Seems great so far. May need to limit the ram 3/4" or so to keep from stressing things. Took about 10min of cycling to get froth free fluid in the res.

Diff mount. I can see the flange pulled slightly away from casting while welding even with bolts tightened. Not sure what else I could have done. May see if a friend can mill it flat again if it ends up being an issue.

I didn't get the 211 dialed in so they look a little goobery but they are hot. I am not much of an out of position MIG welder.





Need to pull tie rod off to burn in the mount and paint it. Adjust trackbar 1/4" shorter to keep fitting away from pan and full bump. Grind diff cover a hair more to clear tie rod at full driver lock. Then put it all back together.

I had issues when I welded a limit strap to the 14 bolt diff cover. Never could get it to seal again.

Did it use countersunk bolts? That's the only reason I think I might be ok.

RTV it, only lightly snug the bolts, let it dry 24hrs, tighten bolts, fill


or belt sand it or grind it if its super off....

Pulled tie rod to burn in mounting tab and paint. Heim galled up in the tube adapter.

I need to order a collar to use to limit the ram. Last 1" or so is unused when I hit the stops. Dan came over and cycled it while I watched, it does start to bow the tie rod down a little. Holy crap, I did not expect that kind of force from that thing.

I don't think I'll ever use bolt on tins again. You'll want to pull them off for cleanup and maintenance but you'll hate having to undo bolts.

I need to dzues my tins. I'm SO tired of bolts.
