Welding snubber tabs onto a Dana truck diff

[crash340]

Team, question to those experience in welding cast iron, I have a Dana out of an F250 that if possible I'd like to have two or three tabs welded onto it so as I can drill and tap them to bolt a pinion snubber onto it, can it be done and any issues

welding cast is a problem  I would reverse the process & add a snubber to the floor above the diff , far easier to weld & re-inforce up there

That is typically how it's handled... Welding cast iron is tricky enough then expecting it to take the hammering of a pinion snubber isn't realistic...

  thanks guys, makes sense, yeah cast iron has always been iffy just thought nowadays with better technology there may have been an option. All good though, appreciate it
