diff welding for GM corprate 14 bolt I am really sick of getting stuck in the snow/mud in my company supplied work van. At the moment I am strongly inclined to weld the diff. My only concern is will this cause something else in the diff to break over time? 90% of the trucks usage is on highway with a little bit in the city. When I am in albany for work I end up on seasonal roads or insane driveways in the winter and I am not prepared to walk several miles in 10 deg weather again because this thing is stuck with 1 tire on ice or mud. I just want to make sure that if I weld the spiders there is not something else in the chain that is super weak like snapping a axle or something stupid.
PS the fleet is being replaced by Ford vans next spring
