Had a guy try and tell me one time that because I had one of the interaxle shafts replaced I would need to balance the other one and the main drive shaft because they'd be out of phase and off balance with the new shaft. Dude, as soon as the truck makes a turn or slips a wheel the shafts aren't going to be aligned to each other anymore anyways lol.

I know nothin about series 60 Detroits. Are the rear mounts bolted to the engine block or are they just like everything else and bolted to the clutch housing?
Maybe the bolts going into that mounting surface were snapped off or stripped specially if the housing is aluminum causing them to be loose but visually hard to tell they are.

I've been burned too by Pittsburgh Power. I didn't vet them because of their reputation and it costed me...DEARLY. My truck entered in running workable condition. Two weeks later it left in pieces, unworkable and was towed a couple hundred miles away. All this happened when the market was hot too. I was down for months. Even the second shop had to redo the job because it was still puking coolant.
22k for the rebuild, 1200 for the tow and over 10 weeks of lost revenue in a really hot market. I learned the hard way that's for sure.Last edited: Aug 9, 2022

Pittsburgh Power isn’t far away either. I had another guy in mind but he was swamped. Turns out I had more time than expected and could have got on his list.Last edited: Aug 9, 2022
