Yeah, I've observed that several times. Just figured a worn out LSD might do the same.
I'm just gonna go with "the shock load is great." Ah well, wishful thinking. I didn't really think it was likely, but I sure would have felt...
I'm hesitant to even show this. I went to the drag strip, and it wasn't embarrassing enough that I ran a 14.7 due to my horrific traction...
Awesome! I'm glad I could spare somebody what I went through with that. Such a simple problem that leads your mind off into every direction...
Get better soon, Paul, we miss you.
Inspiring words... I need to get to the junkyard and start looking under some Explorers.
Unfortunately they weren't mine so I have no control over those settings. However I did just download them from Facebook and re-upload to my...
Bah, lame. I'll see if I can download them somehow and put 'em somewhere else.
I forgot to go back and correct -my trap speed wasn't spectacular but it sure wasn't ~75 MPH. Here are my timeslips from that night. And...
You've got Pull-A-Part locations along I-10 in Lafayette, Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Mobile. Lafayette has one of each '04, '03, '01, '99 and...
Good one. :thumbsup:
Yes you have and so have I. Then there have been other times when it resulted in something good we could contribute, like your rear disc brake...
Thanks for the advice! Yeah I'm probably either doing it this way if I can, or just welding new perches onto an Explorer 8.8. With my wheels I...
Because I'm a broke-ass junkyard engineer who refuses to accept that going fast costs money, and have been overly encouraged by past successes...
Dare I hope that the 8.8" axle tubes are just enough bigger than the 8" axle tubes to allow them to slip snugly together for strength and alignment?
I know the topic of the 8.8 diff conversion has been beat to death, but as yet I haven't seen it brought up from this angle, so here we go......
I think that's pretty much the plan. I'm looking to do this cheap, so if I come across the right deal on ~3.73-3.80's I won't turn it down, but...
Actually, although it's got a mean idle you can feel in your chest if you stand behind the car, and it sounds like the gates of hell opening up...
I've never considered my car anything but a "restomod." I have done plenty of "restoration" type work on it, and plenty of modding. I agree that...
I think 3300 down the highway for a couple hundred miles doesn't sound too unreasonable...
Separate names with a comma.
