So I would like to know if you tried the third wave spring and if so did it work?,or did you get it worked out some other way?

To be honest I haven't tried it myself, haven't felt I need to. Though I do have a spare set of springs so I can try it, just won't be able to drive it until parts get delivered

I just tried to tighten my wave springs down some more and I just broke them. My truck will most likely be even heavier than your truck so I might be in the same boat. I am interested to see if you will need extra wave springs. What holds the wave springs together? Are they glued, soldered, or welded? Both spring came apart at the overlap sections. everything else seems to be OK. I have more springs on the way, but if I can fix the ones I have I would like to.

The springs are simply overlapped - not welded, glued or otherwise at the overlap section. You didn't break them at all - they came that way. :)

Thanks, Mike. I just got home and took it apart. All is well.

Pity I didn't spot this thread sooner as I had the same issue with the slipperential in a Savage and solved it the same way

One thing note is to make sure the overlap points in the 3 wave springs are evenly spaced out when you put them on. This seemed to be part of the issue with just two as when they were really tightened down it seemed to create uneven pressure on the slipper.

I could actually use 4 springs on mine if i wanted more adjustment area cause I got the springs flattened now. But im good with it where it is
