((911)) NEED 1 spider gear for a ford 8.8

[broncosport]

I have a 94 F150 with the 8.8 that needs a spider gear?? I cant find anyplace that will sell just the spiders. Anyone got one laying around, I only need one?? Its for my farm truck, but I still need it road worthy!;D

I welded up my D44 (side gears only - no spiders or pinion shaft) using a 220 mig, but a wiseass turned off the gas while I was doing it. It has held well enough to shatter a U-joint, break the ears off the axleshaft, and blow both hub locks, and I'm no welder. If you know what you're doing, a 110 should do the job, but I wouldn't weld the rear end of a street-legal truck.

Clean off and warm the spiders up some with a torch before you weld the snots out of them. Don't be stingy with the bead and make sure you get good penetration into the gears.

Had a 2wd F250 we killed off in the woods on ATV trails on my neighbors land, It was worthless until we welded up the spiders. You still had to use a lot of momentum to make it through the mud, rocks and trees but it did pretty good. The long posi breakstands we did for 1/4 mile down the road looked great too.

Oh yeah, cheap SOB trick for a welded diff: drain the gear oil into a zip-lock bag when you pull the cover off. Pack the bag back in around the carrier once things have cooled off and put the cover back on. After a few miles there isn't a trace of the bag left, the ring and pinion make sure of that. Great for the beater truck with a budget of $0.
