    Tri-ax shifter handle?

    If I remember correctly, it's not just the handle that's shorter. The actual nub that the handle attaches to is shorter also I believe. The handle isn't what makes the tri-ax better, it's the shifter. I've used the stock handle on the tri-ax and it's definitely nothing to do with the handle :)

    The 4:10 is in!

    It was a noticeable jump from the 3.27's to 3.73's in my car so I can only imagine for yours! Start off in 2nd gear in the rain unless your tires will hold. My KDW2's don't do so well but they are 295's.

    410 gear install how much $

    $300 from the Ford dealer just to put gears in. That's labor and fluids only. The second time they touched it a year later it was $350. They charged me $18 in "shop materials" the first time and $27 the second time. I guess next time I'll buy them a whole roll of paper towels, RTV and some...

    UPDATE on my stolen rims

    We need to rehabilitiate! Now I gotta find that roll eyes smiley. You get a second felony charge before you're 18 on this matter and the kid needs to go away. Apparently his "rehab" didn't work. Slap my hand instead of punishing me I'll probably do it again...

    Please help me ... someone whose smart with tire sizes.. your help will finalize my..

    If you ever plan to drive in the rain with those tires...I'd probably say don't also. Hydroplaning becomes a serious issue even at normal speed with these widths.

    Make sure you check the cable at the fork.

    Please help me ... someone whose smart with tire sizes.. your help will finalize my..

    Check the manufacture's recommended rim width. 335's I think are too big for a 10" and 305's are about max. 295 are optimum if I remember correctly when I bought my 18x10 Saleens.

    18's and lowered stang

    Eibach Pro Kit here with Saleen 18x9/10's. BFG KDW2's 255/40/18 front & 295/35/18 with 0 issues rubbing. I went with the 255 front as opposed to 265's because a narrower tire is less likely to "railroad" down the road. The 255's follow the road ruts pretty good every now and again. It screws...

    T-Lok clutch packs bad

    Thinking about doing a whole gear install on it really and just take it to someone to set the lash. Gotta remember where those non-crushable sleeves are though. I think those things will save me some trouble.

    T-Lok clutch packs bad

    When it first got installed it had a slight sound to them, just like my original rear end and Ford told me this was normal. I put friction mod in myself, so I know it's in there. This was before I knew of the TBS. I had this done about a year ago and put about 5,000 miles on it before I put...

    Rear End Vibration!?

    3.73's installed by Ford. I put close to 30,000 miles on them before something gave way in the tranny (bearing?) and had 0 whine and 0 vibration.

    Bent the hell out of my jacking points, any issues?

    I jack elsewhere now. I bent one so bad it started to screw up the body panel on the right side.

    T-Lok clutch packs bad

    I got a '00 rear end in my '03 I got out of a junker and it seems like the clutch packs are gone in it. It's gotten pretty bad on low speed turns where it's almost vibrating. I saw in the latest manual update that 75-140 is the new rear oil. I got some but I'm thinking they clutch packs...

    Hood + bumper opinions

    Be careful if you get the 00R front bumper...it's pretty low. If I could have cut off the bottom lip I'd have been fine.

    Clutch cable slap sound

    I've had an issue with my clutch cable sound like it's slapping whenever I'd push in the clutch at a low speed. Just put in a firewall adjuster, quadrant and new cable and that has appeared to fix the problem. Just a possible solution for future searchers.
