Hmmm, wet rocks. That usually calls for finding some "get awn it" in your purse....
Did a real price check on the superiors and they're going to be about $315 each. Yukon should be about $120 each.
Superior will have inners ready to go in about a week, they're going to be about $475 each (average of short/long price).
Yukon inners are not in sight, we have no real idea when they'll be ready to go but pricing should be pretty cheap.
Obviously we were off by quite a bit on the superior pricing, oops.
Got word 35 spl spicer stubs are available again, so that's an option now.
I added up a full set of superiors D60 fronts with CTM ujoints and it's a little over $2000.00. Ouch. Replacing the CTM's with spicer 806's drops that price by a few hundred but are you going to bet $800 worth of axles on a spicer joint?
A set of CTM axles with their joints runs $3K and they say they 300M runs about twice the tensile strength of the 4340, given the different heat treats and all.
This makes a full set of 35 spl/806 spicer axles at $470.00 sound like a bargain.
What a mess, I was so glad to be away from the D44 chromoly axles because of the expense and variables in knowing just what you need, now we're back in the same boat. It's like deja vu all over again.
Do you guys running factory inners with cromo outers worry about breaking the inner? That inner shaft is the last thing I want to break, cleaning debris out of the spindle and even out of the bearing hub is really easy compared to dealing with a bunch of metal in the differential. I've considered putting a groove in the inner shaft so it would break outside the seal surface somewhere, hopefully cleanly like a D44 shaft.
