From my armchair looks like Silver03 could be finishing behind the "REDLINE REDNECK" this year. Just some motor work away.

With the amout of work that is being done in the Klinkel's camp this year, I will just leave it on the trailor this year.:bow: :what:

Looks like I will have to get a 2nd job to pay for the upgrades. I wonder if any local soccer team are looking for a head coach to supplement my income.:badidea: :cheer: :homo:

In Michigan you guys need to learn how to figure cross sectional area.
Would probably help if you knew the equation for area of a circle was pi*r^2.:owned:

I am not saying a high quality 35 spline axle is worse than a 37 spline stocker. I had jsut heard that some people running big power were actually using 37 spline yukons. One way to support this for someone looking for axles(I am not I have haisley 35 splines) is to call Randy's and if they have a 37 spline yukon that will fit the dodge hub, it might help support the theory. Last time I checke the axles flanges were different between the dodge and the fords.

oh that's so funny - that guy got :owned: hardcore on the 8%/15% thing!! :kick: what a pea-brain. :bang :hehe: :rockwoot:

Ah shoot, I was rolling. That made my day right there. Mister smart ass comes in with his trash about MI math. :hehe: Still rolling over this one. LOL :clap:

Ok Ok Ok.....I did compare diameters and not section area and for that I was incorrect.....and I can admit it....it certainly wasnt due to an inability to calculate area though.....now back to the axles...

you have to admit it's a pretty laughable mistake though, right. I do apologize for calling you a pea-brain. That was perhaps, out of line on my part. It was just funny. Good to see you man-up and take the b!tch slap you tried to dish and then move on. Kudos for that! :clap: :Cheer:


axles....

what is an approx. power level where axle strength really becomes an issue. I know trucks that have ~500rwhp have broken them but it's not something you see all the time. What level do you start to see them frequently? 700? 800?

In axles with spline count and diameters so similar, material choice and the process's a true performance axle go through during the build could make the smaller dia/ smaller spline count axle stronger by far.

No, no, enn o no. You just failed Statics 101.

Get yourself a book on the stress calculations in round bars under torsion loading, and you'll find out how far off you are.


Garrett (and many others)...

Don't confuse "billet" with alloy designations. "Billet" refers to how a piece is made, and generally refers to alloys that are cast into ingot and then rolled, forged, extruded (or similar processes) and end up as a long bar. If you cut that up and do the metallurgy, usually you see dead giveaways in the structure in that its microstructure is typically elongated along the rolling axis (and the transverse properties generally are somewhat reduced).

"Billet" processes can obviously only be applied to materials that are ductile enough to tolerate a lot of working....like taking a 24" ingot and forging and rolling it out into 1" round bar. You can't do that with cast iron, for example, or A356, the most common aluminum casting alloys because of their limited ductility. Those will always be casting alloys. 6061 aluminum lends itself excellently to billet processes, but isn't worth a damn as a casting alloy. 4340 is almost always worked with billet processing.

Forgings, can come from either billets or castings (or even sintered powdered metal preforms, like PM con rods). It isn't always clear-cut what you have with a forging unless you know what you started with.

That's my metallurgical sermon for the night.
 
gun drill your axles boys --would be interesting to see how stock axles hold up when gun drilled---proven method ----I've never seen any mention of anyone doing it---chris
 
We have talked it over but the cost is a factor in selling the product. If 37 spline have a problem holding than we move to gun drilling.
 
More commonly called ejector drilling today.
Q: Which is stronger in torsion - a hollow or solid shaft of the same size (OD)?

A: Solid. However, depending how much material is removed from the middle of the hollow shaft (i.e. how thick the walls remain) often the hollow shaft saves significant weight while sacrificing VERY LITTLE strength. However, the solid shaft WILL ALWAYS ultimately be stronger, just sometimes not by very much.
