Video Tour of the Dually
I took a moment to take a video of the Dually. I though this would be a easy way to show everyone. Hope you like it!

Dually Is Running the Highway
I took the dually out on the highway for some high speed testing. 60mph @ 3000 rpm. It rolled smooth, no major vibrations other then the expected. Some minor engine smoke coming from the oil dip stick. Mostly cause I crushed it by mistake with the header. Over...
I had to double check and my results where different but not good. Help me to clear this up if im doing this wrong.
I marked the tire and spun the it 1 full revolution. As I spoon the tire I watched the yoke turn about 2.75 times. I would guess that my rear end ratio is somewhere around 2.75?
That's one of my problems. I spun the rear tire 1 revolution and the pinion only spun 2.25. Its a Eaton Axle and my plans are to test it, even though its not ideal.
Thanks for the Kind words! I guess I really did not want push her out until I was happy with they way it turned out. This took a long time for me to build (4 yrs). I hope by this spring that im able to turn the key and take her for a ride!
Here is another view of right before I dropped the cab...

This is the sleave that I insert, I kepts it kind long to allow the template to lay over it and then I rewelded the sleaves again to the plate and to the outer edges of the 2x4
