Mini spool fits in the g80 carrier, itsfairly easy to install as well, held a full season in our 850ish hp 2.6 truck, even with duals on the rear for a hand full of pulls! We are upgrading to tonys 38spline setup for next year!!

yes, the gasser guys wanted the open rear end and no suspension travel. The goal is to just get a truck out there. It might even have to be a truck with a gas engine in it for this year as they are cheap and plentiful but I'm hoping to find a cheap duramax to put my parts I've already bought on. I can spend my time getting the chassis set up and add real power the following year.
I just want to pull.
thank you for this great information! This is why I like this site so much. You just answered all my questions

Material testing can be done without cutting them apart. Yukon kits look differant because they cheapened them up and the price reflects that.
ben i ran a welded g80 with stock axles in my truck at 7500lb that first year, they didnt break until it hopped. the moser axles and welded stock g80 carrier never failed.
if you're running a dmax i would stick with the 11.5 if you're running a 1ton trans/t-case, when i had the 106, after i broke my 4.88 r/p, the 5.29 r/p just didnt give me a fast enough final, even with the 35's.
i have a bunch of stuff lying around here, if u need anything give me a call. good luck, its addicting! haha

What about Marvin Gillfillan at ts 2 years ago? He did not break a ring and pinion there.

That was the only failure and there was a ring and pinion failure before he bought the truck. Does that make what i have junk?:hmm:
Theres alot more big trucks out there using my axles with zero failures.

Looks to me like he was just trying to clarify as I heard the same story. Still a great track record.
I beleive if anybody questioned quality it was you with yukon. Yet i have had 0 failures with their good axles. Wakeman also runs them, so they are obviously not junk either. Like i said, i like steves design better, but for the price, ill buy the proformance set up.

I dont question Yukons quality. I know what it is and i have the failure numbers direct from Randy's. Your previous post sounded like i may have forgot his or as if you were trying to catch me in a lie. I was raised better than that.

Sorry but if you read his post again it looks as if i forgot one. If he was trying to clearify it should have been worded like "Was Marvins the axle failure you refer to?"
Rhall's always trying to drive a knife in my side... Not sure what i did to him but i sure am sorry...
How? Cause ive called you out on a few little things that you were driving the knife into? The only things i recall driving a knife into is you talking $hit on kyle micheals truck, and you claiming banks intakes were to tall.... And now i asked a question, no matter how i worded it, a simple answer would have been fine considering i said i like your guys design BETTER in several of my posts in the exact thread. It was just something that was brought up to me, so i figured id ask. No im not hassling, im thinking about running a different set of axles next season simply cause yukon is having problems getting the good ones, and i have a buyer for my set up now. The consumer has the right to ask questions, not all of us just drop the credit card on what somebody claims is the best.
Oh yeah, i did also call you out on you claiming bosch motorsports different spray pattern loses power with the mahle piston bowl design, simply cause you stated that you guys did not tune on the dyno, just ran different parts. I wouldnt call any of this driving a knife into your side, simply calling out bold statements.
Play nice boys...:hug: Now, from where I stand you are all correct but it comes off wrong or missunderstood. Tony is right about the quality difference as we have failed quite a few of the yukon 38spine axles and a Grizzly locker too. We haven't had any issues with Tony's but some customers thought they weren't worth the extra coin and it bit them in the ass. As for the injectors, when you swap between two designs that flow the same amount and one set works and the other doesn't, pretty cut and dry. I have trucks running them but getting them to work properly is not easy. On LB7's we have no choice but to deal with them if we want over 100% but on the newer trucks they are not the nozzle of choice. Yes Rob, it IS your job as the consumer to ask the questions needed to help you make the best educated choice to fit your needs. Tony and I both take stuff sometimes too personally but that is how we are and it is also what drives us to be the best that we can for ourselves and our customers. Our customers will tell you the same thing. And you are right with the questions as that is how you got your truck where it is, in the lime light so congrats on a great runner!
I guess i understand, and take stuff personal too. The reason i asked about the injectors, (sorry to go ot in this thread) is we have noticed huge power differences is timing changes with the different spray pattern. So if tuning changes werent made, then max power was not achieved, while running a stock pattern, it might have been because they dont seem to be as touchy with tuning. But i have not spent any time on an engine dyno, so really i dont know.
As far as the axles, i have no question in mind the design is better, and will hold up better. I also think if yukons were dual splined, they would have a totally different failure rate, but i have yet to break their good ones, ive beat the $hit out of them on our power tracks, but thats one thing we get lucky on, we dont have a lot of rough tracks.. but both of my good sets are twisted over a good revolution, so i took them out to get a new set, i think i should have just kept them in. They were once a good option with the warranty and all, but now you cant get the good ones.
On 2 occasions ive lifted my front wheels off the ground on an unlock, and they have held...
But then again, i havent neutral dropped mine, im sure that would give them hell
