12 bolt gear breaking problems....

Jeff brought up another good point. Axle tubes do need alot of attention. I welded mine with a wire feed welder and thought it would be ok. But it failed. I had a shop replace welds with nickel rod i believe and have not had a problem. Definitly do something proper with the tubes. Brace and or weld. Its better to do it when everything is straight and not messed up by improper welding like i did. A hooking car using a transbrake will tear up a 12 bolt. GUARANTEED.
