hi

i have a 1998 Yukon and i installed 12.5x33x15 wheels and ever sense i changed three differentials and i overhauled the last one and when i checked it after first run the axles got bended so i replaced them with another set but they gut bended after first try so could any one help and tell whats wrong but don't tell me that the tiers are heavy because my friend have a similar truck and no problems.

 

thanks

so what do you think is the solution :(

Stronger Diffs

14 bolt rear and dana 60 up front.

 

 

Either that or your getting inferior parts. Maybe go with something stronger, not stock replacement. There is no way you should be breaking diffs with 33's though...even 10-bolts.

Could you describe your problem in a bit more detail and uses sentences? proper grammar would help too...

 

what exactly is "gutting bended" (getting bent)?

 

and what do you mean by "first try"? are you racing at a track?

 

are the axles breaking? is the housing bending? lol what's going on?

Fist I want to apologize fore my poor English

My differential axles got bent near the end outer flange and the other is bent at the sinter off the shaft so the tires are bouncing up and down while rotating and that all after a test run on the street

Yeah Matt...pretty sure the guy's first language isn't English...That's why I let it go...I looked at his first name...

 

By test drive on the street, do you mean you got out and put your peddle to the floor, did a burnout and got wheel hop...thats what bent your axles?

 

 

Something tells me your truck may have a little more power than a stock 350...an I correct in assuming this??

Ahhhh shucks. I see what you mean.

 

I was somewhat serious in my post though... i really tried reading it 3-4 times to decipher what his actual problem was and sincerely wanted a more accurate description of what was going on.

 

Seeing that English probably is his 2nd language and he's not someone being extremely lazy... i apologize if I came off a little harsh (unfortunately we do get people who post like that, and English is their language!)

And back on topic:

 

Either that truck has a lot more HP than a stock truck OR somethings going on with the installation/part. Do you have any pictures? Maybe you got the wrong axles?

 

Were the axles used from a junk yard or brand new?

I know where your coming from man...I was ready to flame him too...after the 5th time reading his post....than I noticed his name.

 

I'm thinking its got a couple more ponies...but you would think the trans would have came apart by now...

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
