DSM8 360 Posted August 25, 2017 I have to weld the sleeves into my front dana 30 but due to the conditions cant use my tig welder. I am looking for someone that is experienced enough in mig to do the job if certified even better we are talking about 6 plug welds the two full circumference welds on the ends. Material is 1/4" thick I have the machine set up with 70/s6 035 wire and the machine itself can do 3/8 single pass so it is more than adequate for the job. ???anyone??? If it could be tig welded this would he a no brainer.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dylan 0 Posted August 25, 2017 I also may need a welder with experience for a project within the next few weeks. I will politely BUMP this up to the top for you, and hopefully follow along! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADV Bum 205 Posted August 25, 2017 I know there is a welder by my shop in San Marcos. I will try to go by this weekend and if he is not there, I will try and get the name of his business. If those attempts fail I will go by Monday during business hours. He showed me some of his welding in the past and it was nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simicrintz 177 Posted August 25, 2017 I use a guy up in Ramona (Fuerst Engineering); he shortened my D-44 a couple of years ago and has done a lot of work for me over the years. Let me know if you can't find his number and I will pass it on to you. Can recommend with 100% confidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have held cert's in SMAW, FCAW & MIG all positions, but all out of date. I still have a small MIG welder I use all the time for little fab jobs. Where are you located?

I have the welder and will be running 70s6 solid wire with gas. Just not skilled enough for this kind of work with a Mig. Wish I could tig it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The vehicle cant be moved so welder has to come to it, I will do it myself worse case just will have to run a few hours of practice beads if need be. Hoping can con Wildwood into lending a hand...I have beer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwood 11 Posted August 25, 2017 I happen to be heading up to Carlsbad tomorrow to visit some family. I could make it by sometime around 3pm to take a look if that works with your schedule. Send me a PM with your address & number if this works out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cant be moved front end has to be apart to weld otherwise you melt all the bushings and balljoints which would be a bad thing but appreciated anyways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
