Im installing a T&T truss on a HP 44 front axle. The directions say to cut off 2 3/8" off the drivers side casting all the way around the axle. i did this, but when I removed the casting i noticed there was some fluid under the casting. It wasnt much, but enough to make me think that gear fluid could start leaking out from here once i Have the axle in the truck. So should I try to weld the axle tube to the center section? Ive been told that If I preheat and post heat the cast, I can mig weld it.
Also Ive tried searching for write ups and pics of this install, but every write up I find for installing the t&T truss on a HP44 the pics no longer work? Any one have any links to a good write up for this install? Thanks in advance.
here is a pic after we removed the casting
