greddy_1700 replied to the thread 2G Snapped bolt.Glad to hear it worked out! Yes, they make a huge difference when drilling hard metals. They're kinda expensive, but worth every penny.-
greddy_1700 replied to the thread 2G Snapped bolt.Small bits to start, and I have found Cobalt drill bits make a massive difference. I had a broken bolt that I tried drilling out with titanium drill bits for over 30 minutes and made virtually no progress. Bought some Cobalt bits and I drilled...

greddy_1700 replied to the thread 1G Has anyone seen or tried these JXB Carrier Bearings.I dont think the bearing in the carrier bearing is the high wear part, ive never seen one that actually had bearing problems, just always split rubber.

greddy_1700 replied to the thread U-joints (DSM vs. Evo3 vs. Aftermarket).I would agree, but it looks like the photos of the GMB joint already mimics the factory design better than anyone else. They may already have the design right, just need to eliminate cross drilling. Likely a bit optimistic as they likely use a...

greddy_1700 replied to the thread U-joints (DSM vs. Evo3 vs. Aftermarket).Looking on RockAuto, the GMB U-joint seems to have the same design as factory, however, it does look like its cross drilled. This might be a silly comment, but has anyone contacted GMB regarding these U joints, and see if they can produce...
