It will lock up...now if you are doing 25mph in a neighborhood, it might just scare the shit outta you. If you are rolling 75 on the freeway things could be much worse.
You asked for our opinion...nobody here is bagging just to be rude, we are trying to help you, and keep you from getting hurt or hurting someone else.
How would your uncle feel if you or somone else got hurt while using the diff he welded?

A side note, you don't use 100% Argon for steel welding. I would recommend C25 or a C02 mix.

I'm glad someone mentioned this... everyone recommends 75/25 argon/c02 for welding steel. Leave the pure argon to the TIG welding of Alum or whatever.

Exactly ~ on the freeway, it'll EXPLODE, leaving debris flying down in a close proximity to your vehicle @ 70mph, possibly into people's windshields, etc.

And if you hurt someone, and they happen to research you enough and come across this thread your totally screwed in court.

romero87 · 08-29-2009, 08:50 PM

you should grind all that shit off and grind/clean the gears. And get some argon for your mig welder. And Weld the shit out of it. or just buy a differential instead of putting peoples lives on the line because those welds i wouldn't trust....

That diff is too far gone i think. Throw it away and call it a learning experience. Please use a gas welder next time. not 110 either.

A friend of mine did that to his camaro. Rest in peace Zach Little. Car locked up and went sideways and then rolled over. He wasn't wearing a seat belt and they found him in a tree with his neck broke. He was 19 and that was 16 years ago. Rex
