Hamster SAS and other upgrades.

[Zach]

Make sure you save the housing in case I grenade mine again lmao

 

[ReconH3]

They had to do the same for mine.

That's pretty common for oddball stuff Jim hasn't done before. Sacrificing abs parts and brackets is part of the deal sometimes.

Donor axle is here, but missing calipers. Junk yard promised to ship them ASAP.
I drop it off At Dynatrack on Fri.

Then when i use my H2 axel in H3T- it sud be "direct bolt in" right?

 

[ReconH3]

Depends if the tone ring count matches. I'm really not familiar with the h2 configuration enough to know. Wheel bolt pattern will be off but that shouldn't be a biggie to fix. Gear ratio needs to be the same as the front OEM.

Bolt pattern will stay H2, Front axle will be matched to the rear and Atlas TC.

Update:
Droped off donor axel at Dynatrack today, it looks like they will be using whole caliper/abs sensor plate. Aperantly jeep abs sensors have weaker magnet compare to GM. So maybe ill have a spare for Zach.:giggle:

But getting it all done before Moab it not looking good as of now. I may have to start upgrading T for Moab.

 

[3Hummers]

T should be fine for Moab as is if you run out of time.

 

[cbetts]

The T would also do fine in Bishop. I wouldn't recommend pulling the trailer up Wheeler though. There are some tight turns.

 

[Mb30sdl]

Family is coming along so we will be staying in Mammoth lakes. Mark against T bed is not secure and I don't feel like moving stuff in and out of the cab. Plus we a going to Yosemite afterwards.

 

[Mb30sdl]

Well it's almost time to drop off Hamster at ORE, spoke to Mel and Dynatrack is about 1 week away from finishing rear axle.

Dropping off Jr. for rock sliders this mid week and then big boy goes under the knife.

 

[BlackScorpion]

Nice.. love the trucks..

 

[Mb30sdl]

Droped off Jr. Yesterday for new rocksliders, it looks like Jr. Will be ready next Wednsday. I'll drop off Sr. Then.

 

[bebe]

Can you measure the stock rear from backing plate to backing plate? I might be interested in the "core" axle when they are done stripping in down

 

[Mb30sdl]

H2 rear axle will be donated to Jr. for H3 SAS swap.(I want to keep same bolt pattern so i can use same wheels between Jr and Sr.)
I had to buy donor axle for dynatrack to finish that 80, my OEM has only ~35K on it.I think I paid ~900 thanks to Zach.

 

[bebe]

OK - I don't want to buy a complete axle because I want mine to stay six lug so a stripped down version would be better, but I need to know how wide it is first. It's probably not wide enough. But just thought it would be worth a shot.

Thanks anyways

 

[Mb30sdl]

I'll measure it next time I'll be in "technology center"

 

[bebe]

Thanks Serge - LOL Technology Center

 

[Zach]

I'll measure it next time I'll be in "technology center"

You ever get a new one? I know the last one was the shack on the fire roads in Big Bear

 

[Mb30sdl]

Yea i moved up to a bigger one. From this one

to this one

I know it doesn't look that good but it's surprisingly spacious inside.

H2 Axel housing without hardware mounting plates is 63". I may have striped down axle coming back from dynatrack, as far as i know they only needed hardware plates to keep e-brake and ABS sensors.

 

[bebe]

Closer - but still too short. It might work. I'll re-do my measurements again. Probably not gong to work...thanks for taking the time to measure for me. The H3 axle is 70". I know it sounds crazy but there you have it.

 

[Mb30sdl]

Are u positive 63" if axels and brake hardware brackets are removed, only 4bolt. Flanges are left?

 

[bebe]

Yes, that's where we measured the H3 from. It's 70", from where the backing plate bolts (4) to the axle flange. Remember the H3 has a zero offset wheel (5.5" backspace). It's really wide.

The guys on pirate think I should just use the one I have and retube it, or use a Chevy E3500 Van Axle which measures 68". Still it's short, so re-tubing may be the only way to go.

Thanks! (Sorry for the hi-jack).
