4wd Cummins Rack and Pinion Conversion Part 2... Solid Axle Steering Mounts & Shaft Routing 

Gawd dangit Tom, you are a UNIT!

Wondered if this was possible. Watched the RU-vid. Decided, nope this isn't possible. Really great engineering though.

Let me know when you flex the suspention and rip the steering linkage out

One of the best truck channels an should have 100k more subscribers an the fact that you do all your work an dont send it out or have your buddy "mike" doing all the work in your shop like someone else.

What car/ truck is the remanufactured steering rack from? How did you go about selecting the right one for your build? Is it holding up well?

Where did you get the rack and pinion??

This is ultimate solution for death wobble.

That is a really Awesome setup! I wish I would have seen this before just ordering all new frontend parts for my 05, 2500 Cummins. I am sure You will really like it! Did You put in a drain plug for the front Diff so You don't have to unbolt the front Diff Cover to drain the fluid? That would be a great idea. Love the video. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing...

Looks nice would be nice to see you update your notes with links to all the components. Would help with those looking to do this for sure... I've not got a 4wd so I'm not too worried about it but I like seeing options for stability when you go BIG power

Glad to see this done. Been thinking about this same idea

That yellow thing called?

Nice job🌈

Thanks for this series man, about to start this project on my race truck as well!!

Awesome job Tom ! Just a question on the front frame horns will you add braces to each side of the frame as well . Thanks for sharing.

Maybe look into a triangulated 4 link from ruff stuff. They have a kit that triangulates the lower control arms so that the uppers will still fit around the engine. If you do that there’s no need for a track bar. If I need to explain better let me know.

That looks like an open diff? Wouldn’t that be super sketchy on a 4x4 launch?

Hey Tom don’t forget to spray inside of those spray paint inside of those gussets you welded on the axle tube that way they don’t rust and it looks real nice in the future you can get a stubby in for your take torch that way you can get in tighter places instead of having a full length tungsten you have a piece like maybe 3 inches long anyways you got a really nice package go in there all right man keep up what you’re doing I got a 91.5 Dodge three-quarter ton I’ll give you three guesses what’s under the hood and anyway it’s coming along have a good night

Looks really good! ... wish this did something like this from the factory lol

Looks like time for Lincoln locker or a spool or Detroit locker in that front diff....would think that'd be better than that open diff....and same for the rear of the truck

Has anyone else done this conversion before?

This seems a little sketch to me. The rack and pinion is engineered to be static relative to the vehicle. The linkage and universal joints aren't designed for the constant motion. And mounting the rack to the diff cover seems a little iffy as well. Some very creative designs but I wonder what an engineer would have to say about it.

Are you selling the steering stabilizer? I'm interested.

Not having a trac bar in to keep the axle and the frame centered to each other will throw off the visual movement of the steering shaft

987th 🤦🏼

I love your videos but you talk to much bud it’s hard to stay focused on the video

Second

More than half this video is just him talking
