I have decided to sell the Sure Grip 3rd member out of my Valiant in order to fund my new rear dif project.
Its a 489 case, 3:23 gears, Sure Grip.
This is NOT the entire rear, just the drop out carrier.
Here is the story:
I bought the entire rear and dropped it in my Valiant, have been running it on a normal basis through this spring and into the summer.
It started to make some noise and had a small vibration. I stopped driving it right away to prevent any further damage.
I have since pulled it out and see that seems to be the pinion bearing.
I visually checked the the wear pattern on the gears to see if there are any "new" patterns worn, and see none. All looks well.
Because I want disc brakes and it is expensive for 8-3/4s I plan to sell this and not bother to rebuild it myself.
That's the info I have.
Ill be posting this locally as well. Obviously its a bit easier for me to sell local than it is to ship. However Im not opposed to shipping if you are willing to pay for it! :-D
Im thinking 250.00 obo + shipping if needed.
Shipping will be from 23454 and Im guessing this thing weighs about 50lbs.
Ill post up some pics a bit later.
By the way if you are concerned about my reputation, I have been selling on here for quite a while. just check the link in my signature. (flip top cap adapter)
