how weld the front diff ?
how weld the front diff ?
hey anyone know about weld the front diff where i weld up I have sierra 1990 w/t 3.7 ratio sorry I am not very good write I am deaf if anyone can explain me or show me yr pic i can see where weld is thanks cheers
thanks cheers
I can;t help with photo's, but I am sure someone can, but are you sure you want to do this? Welding the front diff has a number of disadvantages, and can make the car very difficult to drive.
We have had a few members try it and the general comment is that it's great when you need it but without power steering it is a massive pain.
I drove a sierra with a welded front for a day off road and I was just buggered.
Getting in and out to unlock one hub gets pretty old too. (one way of making the car turn)
I run a welded rear ATM and think they're fine, but I won't weld a front.

yeah thanks for that I am thinking about it i did weld my ex old sierra 1984 was easy weld on front diff 4.1 ratio but mine 3.7 ratio diffenert I was drive 1984 1.0 lts with small mud tyres 28" not bad drive up hillclimb no problem but if I will buy 31" on 1990 w/t 3.7 ratio it will be hard for steering I dont know ? I try plan to order lockright at low ranger offroad at USA but about dollar diffenest ? and delivery price ? i haven't never order before anyway thanks for tell me 
thats some good and propper english u got therer mate.
i bought a front lockrite off lowrange for mine, only to discover when i pulled my front diff apart that i only had the 2 pinion center and the lockrite was useless. so with a handfull of useless center in my hands i welded it up, yet to find out how it goes.
basically i split the crown wheel off and removed bearings, than cleaned for weld, i welded the 3 gears first. than put the top back on and tack welded the 4th gear, split again and weld from inside... pita to do but not too bad i guess.
thats a pic of it split, just weld those gears up. thats a vitara rear i put a spool in. but yours will look the same onl 4 little gears... if it looks the same with 4 little gears ill swap u for a welded one already done
