    I think that's it. I had no idea what it was (lol) I'd have sworn it had a position where lo split would have been . It was a weird truck. had big cast housings with little bitty axles and some odd rear springs
  3. There's lots of different housings. even the camel back ones are front and rear. Then there's different thickness' in the walls. Different wheel ends. Very easy to get tripped up swapping the 46,000 pound ones around. As far as something out of another truck ? may be as simple as a quarter inch shim on each side to make up for the skinnier r600 frame.

    I remember once seeing an early DM It didn't have any dash pattern. It had a 673 and what as best I could tell was a quadraplex. I remember the compound was backwards if you tried to drive it ??? It looked about the size of something from a pickup truck , now I'm wondering if that's what it was .
  5. The original was between the bearings. That new picture is at the housing

    That looks like one of those from something with a gas engine.
  7. Looks like the axle surgeon replaced the spindle.

    That's worse than that. What a terrible mess
  9. IDK about prone to quitting, but if it had compromised fuel in it in -10 degree weather, I've seen them puke after trying to get them to run
  10. Sounds like it needs a new fuel pump.
  11. Louis needs a hug or something.
  12. I have little idea other than you may want to look into one of those inflatable donuts they use for sit'n on when you have hemorrhoids
  13. I once had the axle surgeon here, changed a spindle on a 462 (which turns out you're not supposed to) and he asked if I minded if he took the broken one . Said he could use it cause the threads were good and it didn't have bearing issues. Must be they do stuff like that. I have a like new 46,000 pound housing (seriously, it's not even stained from a carrier) air ride that takes the 6 bolt axles. I'd take a grand for it.
  14. It looks great. Depth like it's cleared .
  15. I don't know about now, but D & W in Auburn NY used to be a good place to look into what you're try'n to do. At this point though ?

    There's probably enough info from this picture I can stalk you to see where to send the Texas Roadhouse gift certificate 🥩
  18. It works.. hard to believe it , but it works.
  19. Maybe it was one of those things that happened in Vegas and didn't stay in Vegas. 🤔
  20. Maybe a leak somewhere in the plumbing between the turbo and engine (charge air or hose) ?
  21. That's the admiral. The rear admiral would be my guess.
  22. By "thing" ??? you mean beautiful woman ?
  23. How'd you like to be from Pennsylvania where all these fruit cakes came from ?
