When he was 4, I used to put him in front of me on the KX500 and do wheelies up and down our street. 2 years ago out at glamis he overshot a big jump and broke lots of stuff. I'm going to recommend a cage this time.

Looks like he tried to use a pre runner as a rock crawler and found out.:laughing:

Assuming he flopped of that cliff behind him, you told him that more throttle is the answer, right?

Now THAT looks expensive...

Not only expensive, the lead time on the boom and boom swivel is 12-14 weeks out from the manufacture in Italy. Nobody bends/breaks **** like that so they don't have extras laying around. The bent cylinder will get new ends and be usable again.

It takes a special kind of stupid to not maintain a drill rig enough to let the pins fall out and bend thick steel parts that usually last the lifetime of the machine. ******s are lucky it didn't fall over and kill sombody.....

Then they're shocked it takes so long to get parts.

Oh they break em there often enough. Normally they seem to just twist off the splined section. Dont get many in that break like that one did.

The straight 90 degree end is the other torsional fatigue failure. I haven't studied it enough to understand what drives one over the other.

Whats the blue goop used for? Is it some kind of antisieze for the slip or is it a vibration damper? I have seen it for years but never really understood its purpose. Also, is it pre applied or do you have a bucket of that stuff that you dip new parts in?

That’s a high pressure molded teflon kind of stuff. It’s not soft or a liquid. It’s a molded on wear resistance stuff that’s pre-applied to the bare metal. I’ve been running drive lines that don’t have it, just greased bare metal on metal and the slip shafts don’t last as long without it.

This. All the OEMs and aftermarket parts that are copying OEM use it these days.

It also makes things tight as **** and you basically have to extend/compress the shaft with a come along or pipe clamp or something on that order.

Toyota stubs don't have it and I replace more of those for wear/slop than all the coated types combined. It's good ****.

Pretty much. Also guys that run with torn boots or the plug knocked outta the slipyoke will wear **** out a lot faster as well.

See some of the female splines being coated as well. Need to be carefull with the torch and welder around those. Had a customer couple months ago do about $2k damage to a driveline with a torch, just trying to remove a carrier bearing.

I've noticed the "euro" style have the females coated. One of my suppliers just came out with 1350 yokes in euro spline and they're way bigger than the normal 16x1.5"
 
Every $200 ready to go go Amazon/Rockauto special I've ever laid hands on has been tight as ****. Cannot slip by hand amount of tightness.

The one I put on my Ranger a few months back took a C clamp on either side of the pinion flange to pull it out to where it needed to be. Silverado a few years back, same story. Same thing with a Superduty rear around the same time.

Now maybe if I was installing some super nice Spicer or OEM stuff it'd be a different story but every new drive shaft I've ever dealt with has been super tight.
 
There's definitely a tolerance on the spline fit and probably even the coating. If I have enough stock I like to mix & match parts to get the right fit. Sometimes you gotta cycle them a few times to get em moving nice. I do have a pile of stubs from the previous owner that are just to big and don't play nice with anything.

Next time I've got a new drive shaft on the bench I'll put the crane scale on the slip just to prove your dollar general commiefornian ass wrong.

Please do, I'd like to have tight over the average sloppy toy ****.
Whats interference fit in comparison?

As a Commiefornian I don’t believe Dollar General exists. I’ve never seen one in my life. I think they are just a myth like Sasquatch. They were invented by poor people in the south.
