    Mig...and if your guy is such a good welder then he should have to ask how to weld something...

    It's as basic as it gets, not like you're asking him to weld like 22 guage aluminium or something

    he just asked me a simple question of how exactly others had done it so i passed it on to you guys. if he was as incompetent as you guys seem to think he is, trust me, he wouldnt be working on my truck!

    youll all see plenty of his work once i post some pics of my truck and then you can see what im talking about

    so when you get the center section red hot, its fine to have all the guts in there? id assume at least drain out the fluid, but getting it so hot wont hurt the seals or anything like that? or is getting it so hot a no no with the bearings and what not in there?

    DO NOT take everything out and weld it up...leave it together. If everything is out then it WILL WARP and then you got problems. Tell him to use a Mig and concentrate the head on the center section when welding. Just go slow. Ya'll are making this way harder than it needs to be. Trust me I have only welded up about 50 of these this way. Change fluid after everything is cooled..
