Interesting videos. How'd you mount the camera down there.

 

Double Sided tape Its a miniature camera

 

Does anyone make a upgraded diff cover that is reinforced, with screws that support the bearing caps. They make them for the 12Bolt Chevy rear end.

 

Perhaps a project for mdigrappa?

Anyways, that camera is awesome. Some sounds would be really cool as well. What kind of camera is that?

 

Its one of those color pinhole camera's, the video output is alot better but Im using a cheap digital capture thingy with my laptop computer to get mobile.

I can put it almost anywhere, as long as there is some light, I had to hang a 12v light off the upper suspension arm

The Spoon device appears to be designed to hold the diff more rigidly in the chassis.
Two of the reasons I can imagine the diff failing are: 1 the high torque applied to the ring via the pinion, during a high rpm drop, causes the ring to ride up the pinion instead of rotating and thus the ring and the pinion deflect causing fractures to the bearings case and generally anything that is the weakest link, 2 the pinion trys to drive the carrier out of the case breaking the caps. That is why some other people have reinforced the caps by making a rigid diff cover, than having an adjustable screw mechanism that supports the bearing caps through the cover.
9" Ford rear ends and HD truck rear ends have the end of the pinion supported via a ball bearing assy that prevents the pinion from deflecting.
I may be dreaming but I believe that somewhere I saw an adjustable screw in the side of a diff case that was set a few thou from the ring, such that it would support the ring again during a moment of high load.
