well i broke it lol. I was testing it out and broke the rear yoke and u joint. hope it was a fluke and not going to keep doing it. if so guess i will have to get a bigger style yoke for the bigger u joint for the dana 35 axle. wish me luck lol

You should just upgrade right now!

When ever I break something or something needs to be replaced I always look for bigger or better and if possible both.

You know what is going to happen if you don't right

PS: Spicer non greasable all the way...trust me you will have a real hard time breaking one!!!

well i'm not worried about the u joint its the yoke there pricey and a little harder to get. I just think it was how i broke it thats all if i dont do that again i think i will be ok I hope lol

[Disturban]

How did you break it?

[Crazymays77]

being stupid. lol I put it against a tree to see how well it would turn the tires and it spun the tires at first then snap there went the ujoint and yoke. I found a yoke for 10 bucks just need to go to fenton to get it then a new u joint.

well after testing the tracker out yesterday and breaking the pressure line on the power steering and not really having much to the brakes. I fixed the power steering first thing this morning. went to the junk yard and I got two of them off the 1500 chevy p/u with the 4.3 in them since the rubber line on them are longer than the ones with the 5.7 in them. so i had them made to work with the hydro steering and I put one on and now i have a spare. So I was thinking of a way to get better braking on the tracker. I figured out that since I have no rear brakes I would use the rear side of the master cyl. for one front brake and then the front side for the other front brake. so I have more braking but i still have to bleed them out. That was my one good idea for the month so I guess I will have to consult with my fellow got mudders for any more good ideas that I might need. lol

ya test that theory cory because i think one has more pressure than the other. let me know what you find out

[Crazymays77]

ok i will do that. it stops i know that for sure. lol

well no more upgrades other than I will be putting a new raditator in it tomorrow and after i put two rear yokes in it and broke both of them i had to modify them so they dont break again. I broke the tcase too when i broke the yoke and the driveshaft was floping around. so i have my fingers crossed that i dont break anything else. the radiator was kinda my fault i used the plastic tab things for mounting a trans cooler. I used them to mount the elec fans and they rubbed holes in the radiator which was old and looking anyways. so I made new brackets to hold the fans and so there not touching the radiator anymore so i shouldnt get any holes in the new radiator I hope lol. So there are no plans to do any upgrades as of right now. I have a friend that might have the 4 barrel intake and some headers for the 2.8 so if he finds that stuff I will be getting that and down the road putting that stuff on it. I plan to do dual exhaust all the way back instead of how i have it now but it works for now.
