quote Alright, after reading a ton of threads on welding up gears for extra traction, i went ahead and welded mine up. I put the third back in and went to pull out of my garage, and I just roasted my clutch. I figured that maybe there was some slag left in the bearing, so i dropped it in 4lo and lo and behold something broke loose. MY ****ING DRIVE LINE. I'm really pissed at all this BS talk. I welded my junk really wel. And now my driveline is twisted up like a damn pretzel. You are all a bunch of **** talkin Jerks. What the hell did you all do differently?

WOW

He welded the pinion gear to the drive gear. LOL

He misunderstood what a lot of people do is weld up the spider gears to force a posi traction rear end. What a dolt.

wow... im speechless...

Most people weld their spider gears.

Those guys on that forum are evil. Not a single one would tell him what he did wrong! LOL
Tough crowd to be an idiot on I guess.

Couldn't find the one I wanted, so this will do till then.

This guy knew how to WELD??

Looks like he did a thorough job, too

This goes to show the importance of understanding why you're doing something before you do it

NittoSuperTamer- The screen name kind of says it all. Of course, who am I to talk?

Here, I fixed it

1984 Fiero SE

It was a joke, if you read to page 4.

I hope this guy lives far far away from me!

Definantly a, "he's doing it wrong", moment.

Of all the things I've lost,
I miss my mind the most. Joe

This one?

Had a lot of people going for a while

this is why some people should not go near cars........ you guys ever see the movie ideocracy or how every you spell that movies name. this is the start of it.

HA yes! good movie too.. low budget, but i really dont think they are far off with predictions..

bwahahaha!

yes, my front diff on my 'burban was welded too - but - um - not the pinion to the ring - DUH

I dunno what happened, I put in 4 wheel drive, and the tranfer case popped....

That’s debatable.

------------------
Technology is great when it works,
and one big pain in the ass when it doesn't.
Detroit iron rules all the rest are just toys.

That is probably the best joke around for the past few years.

1st ,You started this thread wrong by blaming others for something dumb you did.
2nd ,There are more than 2 gears in a rear,you picked the wrong 2 to weld.
3rd ,A locked rear is not a good thing to use on the street or track because it isn't safe.
4th ,A little respect wouldn't hurt when you are asking for help.The people here are as helpful and knowledgeable as any you will find on the net.
5th ,If you need more traction,try wider tires (if they will fit).

ROFL on so many levels!!!

Exactly how is it not safe on a track? I run a locked rear in my Fiero and I know several others who run them in other brands, including a couple front wheel drive cars.

The advantages on the track outweigh the disadvantage in the garage of trying to push the car around.

saw that a few days ago. hilarious!

ROFL thats amazing. love to meet someone who will do that for a joke. ny1 know where he got the gears he welded up?

Break an axle and you'll find out why they aren't safe !!

We used to always weld up the spider gears on my stock car. Now Nascars gone hi tech. I remember also using railroad car springs cut down for right fronts, and bolted on chains to limit wheel travel up and down. Locked up rear ends were great for paved ovals at 180 mph. The hi tech version is just engineered that way...called a Detroit Locker.

It's actually a very famous and elaborate car forum trolling thing. Part of a "series".
