There's always the RUclips expert in the comments... just shut up. Currie has been around a lot longer than just this axle. I'm sure they know what they're doing, considering they're a national company.
Huge Miller fan boy here.....why would Miller continue to build the Millermatic 190? 230 only, good up to 1/4". For another 300.00 you can get a Millermatic 211. 110 or 230 and good for up to 3/8"
@@impavitus I've been watching several RUclips series; powernation, etc.. and they use a torque wrench with a specific Guage that measured bolt stretch when tightening studs on heads and main caps. The engines were LS and Coyote engines for street/strip use.
It will be interesting to see how long those turbos last! That little engine is a powerful engine though. The cost of one of those turbos might be the cost of another engine ? Love to see how long they last ( Twin Turbos ).
@@bigboreracing356 wow that is truly incredible. That is alought more mileage than I expected. I have seen these turbos crap out with fewer than 50,000 miles, without the engine being abused at all. Ford had a diesel turbo in the 90's that was just poop. 35,000 miles was all 1 turbo would go.
@@bmstylee The weak point here would be the standard gear housing and a clutch-type limited slip. If you really worried about a regular housing deflecting just weld on a common back brace. This is, of course, just a commercial for Currie's product and the bragging rights associated.
@@bigboreracing356 Fine, but if you are going to go through the trouble and expense of that housing, then fit it with an appropriately upgraded center section, not some nondescript piece. This is mismatched.

Seriously? Two passes are needed for welding the axle housing. Your single pass is marginal. your issues started with your bevel grind not being correct. About that parking brake.... Are you planning on disassembling it later to put in the rest of the mechanism?
I would assume RWD, if it were gonna be 4x4 they would have made a point out of it. Instead of an axle build bed be seeing a high HP transfer case video, or something. Who knows. Love me some all wheel launches though, would be wicked to see
With three in the tree. Now that's original. No need to be a boomer that's what the Factory made. But then they are doing it from someone else's work. Looks super COOL.

Yea that kit is some real eye candy for sure.
They are cool. The 6 piston kits are even cooler.

I will remember that if I should ever do that (bearing replacement). Thanks for the tip.
Hope all is Good!
Bravo super video je vous regarde depuis la France
You could use the shims as feeler gauges.
It's great that you have the skills and money to weld up axle ends
That alignment tool was REALLY cool , sure helped him weld it together and straight .
Welded it up, yes, skills, not so much

Isn't the currie rear end a little overkill for a V6 not making 400hp?
Hey guys, what happened to the flat head?
Great job!!, very good!!, where you find the power pack for the ecoboost?
Nice vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stretch on the bolt when torqued? Like mains and rods studs?
What I thought

@@jamesdiehl8690 there's definitely a science to what they do
Nice 👍
I would like to put an Ecoboost in my '54 one day.
Eu não entendo esse RUclips, se o canal é gringo, pq o comercial é do Brasil?
When you get bored, call Kasse to stress test that rear end.
Needs more room between bed and tire.. Get a flat and you will have big problems!
Why are there no drain or fill plugs?
Some customers prefer it but not many they went cheap cheap cheap
Nice truck but I would put a different motor in it

Since it's not a daily driver it's a non issue. Personally a Coyote would be cool. But availability wasn't great when they built this.

That whole rear housing is overkill for that engine.
If you overbuild it you can drive and not worry about it breaking. Plus with tuning and bigger turbos that v6 can make some healthy power.

How much of the Axle came from Ford?
None the design is a ford 9" nothing was made by ford tho its the most common type because of the tail bearing on the pinion allowing for alot more hp

where is kevin
episode is ancient. Kevin hasnt been with PN/trucks in yrs
I feel like you have really done a disservice to that truck American muscle doesn't consist of v6 engines!
You do know they had 6 cylinder engine back then right?
U should give the truck away when done.
Could’ve gone a bit slower on the diy rotisserie. Still looks good though

Way too many ads
