The embarrassing weak link in my doomsday build!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
When I set out to build a killer Suburban I didn't think I would use tie down straps to hold the transfer case in check. In this episode I finally remove the old doubler system and replace it with a billet one piece from Off Road Design.

Wow. Thats a small contact area for that big ole 205 to be hanging from. I’m building a square Cummins rig with a 24 valve. Would love to chat sometime
Merricks Garage, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!
I have been looking at both of the adapters. After watch this video, I decided on the ORD doubler. I have only received quality components from them. ORD for the win.

The whole truck feels more solid and planted now.
Very motivated keep it up bro it looks awesome
It's funny.....I had looked at that doubler setup for my own truck. Don't really need it for my use, but would be cool to have. And seeing how many holes there in the various pieces for "clocking" just made me think it was just going to be a weak setup and fail/crack. Saving to maybe do the ORD one down the road.

Yea it was bad. I did warn you lol
It would be a good idea 4 U 2 make the subtitles YELLOW so we dont lose them in the background.
You also lost a bolt on your transfer case support bracket that extends off the bellhousing. Also there's a loose bolt on your new adapter.

No need for low gears and the doubler really only acts as an adapter
You really don't need a doubler when you have that diesel torque. A doubler is for smaller engines like in a Tacoma.. so that it can give you lower gears for that low power engine. When you combine a high torque engine with a doubler, you really have to baby it and be careful when you use it. Because you're taking that high torque and multiplying it and it loves to shear shafts when you have big tires fighting back.. If you want to make it bullet proof, removing the doubler is not a bad idea.
