I have a 93 magnum,just recently out 4 new rear chains on her and I took it for a test ride today without the front chains and both right and left sides slip sometimes mostly left.she don't really want to turn left but right is fine is it don't slip,it only happens when breaking hard or going up a hill without breaking and one side will just slip and just stop,what is the problem here?
What slips? The chains slip on the sprockets?
No the rotors just stop turning,chains and sprockets are goos
What is a goos. is the belt slipping?Originally Posted by curtisbyrne
Good I meant lol,the belt is good nothing slips ,chains nothing. There is no sounds at all just at some random point say going up a hill one of the rotors coming out of the tranny just stops or slips then when I jam the opposite brake it turns again
It may just be the transmissions normal open differential operation where it applies power to the side with the least amount of traction.
I don't remember it being like that tho?
If your traveling up a slippery hill and the right side looses traction and those tires start to spin free, the left side will slow down and could very well stop completly (tires, chains and rotors). When you apply brake to the right side you force it to slow down or stop, this transfers power back through the open diff to the left side starting the rotor,chains and tires moving again. This is normal open differential Argo driving. You will learn the tiller bar shuffle pretty quick if you find yourself travelling up slippery trails or playing in the mud often.
Ok thanks,will let you know when I get all my new chains on and th front ones on as well!
