the reason for the slinging grease was probably my fault on the clamps but do they normally run that hot? i don't like the f150 outters because they are not easy to take apart. the non plunge cv's with the non plunge axle is interesting. I have less than 1/8" plunge and they do tq lock on the splines then release when you hit a bump and slam into the clip and in my case until i adjusted my rods out they nailed the clip and banged like a trans blowing up!!! what a noise. I have a cure for that. the heat concerns me though cause I have never seen a uj get that hot ever. another thing is the play in the spline and cv is odd as well. you can feel it in the rail when you acc and decell or on and off the throttle it's kind of a back effect. I know I hear and feel things most don't but still concerning and makes me wonder how they don't break more often, I can only imagine what a plunging cv is like. I do believe I will add a set of tabs to my rear end to go uj's and keep the cv's as back ups. the center section I used turned out ok after a crap ton of mods but did fine. had to adjust a chain twice but only 1/2 turn of the tie rod each time then 2 more days of riding and didn't move again but not once when I stopped and jumped out to feel it was it more than luke warm and 108 links. not having reverse really sucked as well so that will have to come this winter when I get time. I have a lot of other things on the list first and have to get the toy hauler back in for more warranty work after this trip not to meantion need 2 more stabilizer jacks since I found a parking lot that was to big of a drop on the way out!! I did see a nice truck on the way into alva and really thought about looking at it. here's a pic.wonder if anyone has ever tracked the heat of cv's? that damn grease is just a mess and i am sooooooooooooooooooooooo sick of sticking my hands in it!! I only had one boot slinging grease then got it tightened up and the last day the other inboard one started on me so I just gave up. stinks when it hits the tail pipe lol
