So I got a call for an old Chevy truck, but I destroyed my Jeep in the rescue.
My buddy Sean with @Bikes and Beards is launching a new product for keeping motorcycles, ATVs, and Side by Side's clean and protected. Finally a good product!

As a retired heavy equipment mechanic of 45 years I learned a little trick to remove broken axle shafts. It requires a length of round rod ( I used 1/2" most of the time ). 1: Weld a small tab to side of one end. 2: slide a piece of heater hose over most of the length. 3:Attach the ground lead of a stick welder to the housing 4: Attach the stinger to the rod 5: Slide the rod into the housing using the hose as an insulator and weld ( more like stick ) to the the broken piece unhook the stinger when stuck. 5: Extract the broken piece, I have had to attach a slide hammer to get them out. This had worked for me more times than I can count. Thanks for the great content

I’m sure you already know, but the cold forged Spicer U-joints are one of the best if not the best oem type U-joint. The next step up would be something like the yukon. Back when my rock crawler was half ton I went through multiple axle shafts due to the skf U-joints until someone told me about Spicer’s being better. Now it’s got D-60’s with cold forged Spicer joints and I have had zero problems.

Edit, it is some years ago.. so.. rust begins to form, 😁 (but inherited technology insight from my dad and working in in it (o.k. what I said, stepped into a different branch, still all technique and still between all the guys as only gal back then, a Lizzy but late '80's/90's when I started, best years of my life so I look at her and see myself from the past what truly was a huge blast and still miss it up to a huge degree! 😊 ) but back to what I was trying to say, I see what happened but ABSOLUTELY liked to see Exactly what broke, what broke even more and how it all works, a true reminder for me taking me back! So, I loved watching the recovery And the repair! Thank you all, MORR Team! You all have a big fan over here 👊😎🤗

The editing is what makes it flow so well. I would imagine you might morph from only recovery content to recovery AND rebuild and repair in one video, per video drop.... just my two cents.

Really enjoyed this one Matt. I love the old square bodies. Got 4 of them in the family. Very familiar with the power steering belt squeals and the door not shutting right. Typical square body Chevy stuff. As owner of numerous Dana 44s and their cousin the Corporate 10 I find it impressive that you break them that often. Guess that really illustrates the strain bigger tires and lower gears put on stuff when you put extra HP in front of it. Take care guys. Love your channel!

Some chevy trucks came with dual power steering belts. If you look long and hard enough you can find those pulleys although sometimes it is the power steering pump not making enough low rpm pressure. The only thing wrong with the door is the upper hing pin bushings are gone causing it to sag. A new upper door hinge would solve the problem as the hing pin holes are most likely slotted out from wear. A new seat or dash pad is the real bad issue. Very expensive.

I loved when Matt pulled out the axle and the splines had snapped off. Something definitely got bound up and I'm suspecting the yoke on the stub got warped considering the U joint was snapped as well. Might be worth investing in a conversion to double cardan joints if it keeps happening. The wheel being hard over and buried does put a U joint in the weakest position.

@@davidp8157 Not if the axle locked up after the u-joint snapped, which is a possibility, and likely what happened. U-joint snaps, axle falls and binds, axle gives right behind the splines. If the axle snaps first the u-joints have no torque applied to them to snap, if they were actually moving it would be possible to snap the u-joint afterword but the wheel stops immediately after the first snap, so no inertia to break the u-joint.

After watching that Chevy recovery, it dawned on me why we never got into anything we couldn't get out of. We just never did anything stupid. Why don't people just get out of the vehicle and walk the trail a bit before committing a couple of tons of truck to an impossible mission. Car keys and beer don't mix!

The end of the video is classic "what not to do with a winch and recovery vehicle 101." Never reverse while pulling, never pull while winching and Spicer life series joints or DIE. That POS cheap joint just took out a couple hundred bucks worth of parts for NO reason. If you are going to push the limits of a D44 you need the white seal life series joints and just tack them in place to keep the caps from ejecting under extreme load. I've found that even full circle snap rings will fail and push a cap before the cross will break.

I think Matt likes using a common size part so spares are cheap compared to breaking a custom sized axle. That being said, without custom upgraded parts even back when I had one (the 90's) I thought I was pushing my luck with 35" tires on a Ford Dana 44 (78 F-150).

It's generally considered a bad idea to pull with a winch line also. It doesn't take much to create a shock load on a winch line strong enough to destroy the winch by tugging on it with a vehicle. I was really cringing watching Matt and Paul doing it in the last video. Winches really aren't designed to withstand the forces generated when a vehicle hits the end of even a little slack in the line.

Hey Matt it's easy to narrow a Dana 60. Buy an inner axle cut it shorter then cut new splines on a mill. Grind the weld off and hammer off the ball joint holder then cut the tube hammer it back on and weld it. Be sure it goes on at same angle for steering.
