sargent slaughter 2.5 ton gmc's

[cnoswalt78]

ok boxed frame fixed steering so i can move the truck around and test it, went into the pond behind the shop and went over some hills under power twisting it and getting on it and no broken parts. my dad said its like watchin a turtle slow as heck, 4 low and granny with 617 gears, were thinkin of adding shims to the rear to stiffin it up till i get a locker, Im so proud it dint twist or bust! it dint do so good under power in powdery dirt 2 wheels spin, suspention dosent give much pretty hard ride its no caddy. im thinken disk wheels brakes and calipers, what do you think?
what entails on gmc axles?

[cnoswalt78]

i put my brake on the t case  where the pto brake drum was  one rotor and caliper  should be ok unless both d shafts are blown out  i used the caliper bracket of a 10 bolt front   and some flat and angle iron to make a bracket to hold it to the case and frame    you could probly use a hydro boost system on the brakes and get rid of the vacume booster  if yer motor dosent make enuff vacum

[cnoswalt78]

but hows that work the hydro booster system, power steering powers the booster how ?I dont understand it. how dose the hydro booster system make more than the vacume?

[BigFrank]

it uses hydraulic press made by a pump to actuate the brakes the system was used on pickups and some cars in the 80 s  all chevy trucks that had a deisel motor

ok its coming along, but got woke up saturday moring with my cell going 99mph non stop. some asshole put my truck on craigslist for $1000and $50and a pack of marbs for my tires. they list it as23'' lift rockwells for $1000, Im so god damb mad, just pisses ya off but got more than 25 calls and more than 25 texts, way more!

For brakes, may I suggest pinion brakes. This way even if the drive shaft is gone you can still stop, only thing to keep in mind is with open axles the brakes will pull to one side or the other. Suggest ya weld the rear,least then ya get 3 wheels going in the mud also. 53" tires especially millitary's should not take out your axles. Running two calipers should not need anything extra for vacuum, unless your engine doesn't create much. If not much vacuum availible,you could switch to an old chevy master cylinder without a booster.

[cnoswalt78]

itll pull to one side why? the spider gears? how do monster trucks not pull to the side?

where can i get the drive flanges  to replace the yolks mine have a regular u joint and strap bolts everywhere ive asked the parts guys look like a deer in headlights  i used a master of a buick roadmaster with out a booster and had to make a pedal assembly that came of a 71 truck  but its unproven as of yet

[cnoswalt78]

call BOYCE EQUIPMENT
@ 1800 748 4269
he has them and will ship them to your door

your average driveline guy should be able to get them but there is a few sizes so i would just call mark boyce he has them on the top of his head, or look through your driveline guys book take a messurment and order.

[cnoswalt78]
