Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
What is the difference in the drw vs the srw? is the housing different, or is it just the WMS of the hub located farther in? i know a dually has more hub sticking out but ive never been able to find out if it has a different housing as well. or really any definitive WMS-WMS dimension. i know my RC60F is somewhere around 69.5-70" and i think the 80 is 70"

http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billav...awler_hub3.jpg there 4 different widths for the chevy 14 bolt those can be made by 2 different axlewidths and the 2 different types hubs , to make a chassis cab dually axle for instance you need a single wheel axle with dually hubs |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I am pretty familiar with the GM 14 bolt stuff. ive been bleeding GM since i was old enough to walk :). Ryan and i both have dodge dana 80s in our trucks, and the information is not nearly as easy to find on these weirdo axles and usually seems to be in conflict from one source to the next.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
wherent the newer dodge axles allready fitted with diskbrakes ?
if so it shouldnt be too hard to upgrade the older style ....... just googled it they do and they started in 2001 ....... http://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gall...d=105168&.jpg= googled some more the hubs for the newer axles seem to be different , maibe the disks and calipers fit though |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
The only thing about those is the parking brakes always suck.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
hmmmmm oh whell looks like its going to cost yah then , i wonder if those aftermarket brakes are any better if it comes to sticking , theres a LOT of water being sucked in back there when its raining

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Gm's were sticky too. and the pbrake sucked. my HD was always eating rear pads. every time i pulled the calipers i cleaned the slides and doped them generously with copper anti-sieze and they still always sucked. i was on my 3rd or 4th set of rear pads to my 1st set on the front. rear disks are just tempermental.

Hey there buddy
Don't get me wrong buddy because i don't want to give you the impression I bang out trucks......lol....rolls my eyes...( because nothing happens over night at my shop )..But man I can't wait to see you driving and ripping around in it....it's bad a$$....and I wish it was in my shop... |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
maibe use stock brakedisks and aftermarket calipers like brembo or sumtin like that
i just googled rear brakecallipers and there where a lot of links to frosen calipers problems on all sorts of cars and trucks , guess there just a little more maintanance involved in them strainge thing is i have reardisks on a mercedes 190 (ok its a real lichtweight compared to a truck ) but no problems with brakepads wearing irregulair or callipers seizing up , maibe dust sand mud and stuff like that has some to do with it as we only have asphalt roads and green country where i drive these mercs have a mecanical drumbrake inside the disk for the emergencybrake btw |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Maybe AAM rear disc brakes from the 3rd gen doxdges is the way to go. But cost is the issue. Maybe I need to look into using a pinion brake. Air ride on the rear, boxing the frame, and getting my gooseneck installed are more important.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Here's my gooseneck. It's a B&W that the ball was stuck in. I have been soaking the snot out of it for a month, and today I knocked the ball out with a 12lb hammer.

The center section of the hitch is 26" wide. In between the 2 cross members is 7 3/4". The angles the center is attatched to are 41 5/8". The receiver for the ball is 2 1/2". |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
did you dredge that thing off the north atlantic floor?
Matt, i didnt realize you needed all those measurements. i guess i didnt even think about a length.... sorry man |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Ryanroo no problem man. Now it looks like ill be building my own hitch. It should be pretty simple to make the hitch from scratch.
