Batmobile 14 bolt front build

matth_85 · Sep 23, 2015

Same style bearing as a 9". I thought the older 14's ran that style also...

With that said, I like my chances with a shitty bearing there as opposed to nothing (D80). Just something you need to keep an eye on.

Honesty, I think shipping or the trip to PA would probably not make it worth your while.

Ever see old Lebanon Levi or the rest of them up there?

Back when I built houses, his crew did the siding on the ones we framed. That whole show was phoney as phuck.

Well dam, I was hoping those hut party's with drunk Amish chicks was real!

More like Lang-kiss-ter.
Here's a buggy pic so this still qualifies as tech

Now I thought that a AAM 14 bolt was not a drop out pinion.

There is a 11.5 , 14 bolt an It's AAM axle. Chevrolet used them in DurMax and 8.1 liter truck. Dodge uses them from 03 and up , 6.7 Cummins trucks. This is all from memory so IT"S NOT FACT.

Re:

Whatever axle is under the rear of my 8.1 does not have a dropout front pinion. Was wondering what it actually was because when I bought it I just figured it would be a 14 bolt.

Re:

I was also thinking the 11.5 aam 14 bolt didn't have the third pinion bearing.

Correct. It's more like a Dana 80 than a "14 bolt"

payne97 · Sep 24, 2015

Yes the ring and pinions and bearings r much bigger like a 80 :stir:

For that matter, all 14-bolts were made by AAM. In 1994 Gm sold some of its final drive manufacturing plants to an investment group and at that point AAM became their own company. Before that AAM was a division of GM.

Curious of the expected cost of building this? Any idea?

pholmann · Sep 25, 2015

Are you going to use aftermarket inner c's or cut some off an axle?

bjeep · Sep 25, 2015

I see you took down you 5K budget there.

You will have 2500 plus in shafts.
2500 in knuckles too run those shafts.
You are done over 5k.
And you still have no spool,truss,axle,link mounts,and gears. You will be closer to the 10k mark.
But since you are Batmobile Will. I guess people will give you all the stuff. :dunno:
