Rockwell set up after welding up spiders.
I have tried I promise !! I looked on Pirate and here, I can't seem to find information on setting up the rock after the spiders are welded up ???

So what I have heard is true, not as important as the other axles ??

They are nothing like other axles. Just get it close and beat the piss out of it.

Are you planning to split the carrier to weld the spiders or just weld the spiders to the carrier through the holes in the carrier?

Then you shouldnt have any setup to worry about. Weld them up blow the crap out best you can and run them.

Right, but it also don't hurt to know what you have and are dealing with. I'm just an information junkie !!

Spend the time and weld them solid. Ive had mine break, just just the spider gears welded and two other rigs the same way. One rig mist up the ring gear. but keep running it for the weekend.
Mine is fully welded now. With detroit up front.

I need to weld up my rocks. I am runnin 5 tons and am blind when it comes to this.
I have never welded up on a diff on anything. Does anyone have any pics or vids of the best way to weld up the spider (exactly what tot weld together)? Is it best to MIG or STICK it. I figure i could get stronger rods to weld....but do i need more then 70000lbs tensile strength? |

Rockwell set up after welding up spiders.
I've never been into a 5 ton but I'm sure they are the same. With everything together put your stick through the little windows and tack the gears together where they meet. Do not weld it to the carrier! After tacking through every window pull the carrier apart and pull out the spider gears. (should all be tack welded together)
Then lay some more welds in between the gears.. Mig or stick will work...... ![]()
