differential question?

I've been thinking about welding my diff but I've heard of a lot of people blowing up there diff if its not welded right. So I'm wondering if there us a stronger way to lock you diff? Has anyone used a mini spool instead of welding the diff?

Weir performance makes a spool but it's costly compared to welding it for the same results. Plate weld it and it should be plenty tough. If you don't trust yourself and can't find any shops locally, pbm offers a welding service at a fair price.

i got mine welded my a shop near my called blu808. i just took my pumpking out and took over the cover and brought it to them. after i looked at the way they did it. the use the 2 steel plate method, on on each side of teh spider gears welded all the way around. and they garuntee it to 500hp or something like that. if its welded well, it wont break

As previously mentioned; using a proper and thought-out method for a welded differential will be very reliable.
