Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

So here is way overdue update, its only been about 2-3 weeks but it feels like 2-3 months.

After a local dyno day I took a friend for a ride and then I decided to launch it.
Well apparently 27psi on the 3-bolt wasn't a good idea, to be honest it was like my 10th-11th time doing it so I learned my lesson. Actually I know better I just like doing it.
Results:


I saw that and I was hoping that the axle was just pushed out. So i drained the fluid to see if there were any chunks, that would tell me.



Fluid results are in:


Yep there were chunks and I've never seen fluid that dirty before

If you look at the axle that isn't in the rear end, you will see that the axle is snapped, so 1/3 of it is stuck in the rear end.


More results of no self-control.


Removing the rear end, its so dirty:


Inside of the now not so good rear end.


Thanks to Mo on this one, luckily he was around doing some work for "teh bean" and told me how to fill the carrier bearings, this was my first time in 7 DSMs doing this and thankfully he was there to guide me. Not exactly hard, but I didn't know what I was doing.


Metal sleeves that I removed from the rear mustache bar, I had to use fire.


Hard to see, but there is new carrier bushings in there, all aluminum no more crappy rubber stuff.
