Looking for some advice on a 2wd puller.

Oh and should i get a one piece drive shaft or, should i just upgrade my 2 piece drive shaft. I may go see if the drive line shop will sponsor the truck.
 
That's what I did... I talked to several orgs and pullers and most didn't mind the 2ton rear as long as I kept the rest one ton. Also go with the one piece drive shaft. Been there broke stuff lol
 
Will my rearend handle a couple pulls? Only 2 maybe as much as 4 around here I would think about doing this summer to get a feel for it.

depend on the track and the amount of traction and power you are able to put to the ground and if the truck bounces.
Shaun I would recomend a 1 peice shaft.

I emailed them, and they said that right now the biggest is a dana 80, but they gave me the phone # for the class spokesman, so i'll give him a call sometime. maybe he can ask the other pullers if they would mind. They said that there haven't been any 2wd's built for the class.
 
Alright i was thinking the 1 piece shaft would be best. I'll look into that once i get the axle figured out.

There very few actual Purposely built 2wd Diesels out there. I only know of 2..lol Counting mine. So the idea is still new and being explored as we speak.

If a fella was to run across one id also look into an AAM rear end from a 3rd gen dodge. they seem to hold up really well.
 
I think i will just get the 2 ton rear end. I can just pull expedition if they won't let me participate in the class. It'll at least get me some experience with the sled. What trucks are 2 tons? F650 and similar sized? or bigger?
 
That is why we are here.if we don't try to help one another to get the 2wd going.

You might want to find a SQHR the 106 won't last very long.

road tractors and dumptrucks.Lynn has a GM rear I think out of a bigger truck I don't remember what it came out of.

Alright Thanks, So i should just look at the axles at the local semi junkyard, and look for one with a tag that says SQHR?
 
:bang:bang:bang hit the wrong key. where would i find it. is there a tag on the diff cover like on the dana 80's?
