    The companies I'm reffering to are west coast companies and a certain company that has merged with another certain company. I really didn't believe it till I saw it. Open it clean it then paint it... that's what their motto was. I'm not reffering to Daaco, they just started advertising in my area, but i've had such good luck that i'm too scared to save money.

    Yeah unfortunately that is all a lot of converter builders do, cut it open, clean it, weld it back together and paint it. They have $5-$20 in rebuilding a converter and sell it for $100, its a goldmine company but once you make a bad reputation it is hard to change that. I havent used Dacco converters in a long time and mainly used them for performance upgrades as they offered a great line of inexpensive quality converters but they had a lot of limits as to what they would do and it just wasnt in my interest to continue using them anymore.

    OK, another question.....

    What does it mean when the 4th Clutch Hub is "Hardened at the Splines"? While i'm no engineer, I have some experience with metals, and it seems to me that we'd want the whole part hardened? Maybe it's cuz I just don't know how they normally come.

    Hmmm, thats a good question. Im kinda interested in the answer myself. Though, as I understand it, the splines are so small that they are easily stripped and thus why that is the only part that is hardened

    Hardened is just the fancy slang for it, it is heat treated on the splined end which gives it the bluish black color There is a pic I posted in the carnage thread that shows what the non heat treated shafts will eventually do
