    4.10's, what are carrier bearings?

    they are the bearing that go on your differential. In the rear end there are two bearings on the carrier, two bearings at the pinion, and one on each axle. replacing them usually depends on milage. I replaced them all when I did my rear end just for piece of mind. the abs rings are...

    Anyone heard of DC SPORT lowering springs for 94-98's?

    I would never buy srings unless I was aware of the spring rate. I call bs on the guys car being alinged properly if it actually was down 2 inches. even if his was does not mean yours will be. your shocks do not have as much to do with bottoming out as the actual spring rate. the shocks...

    Are all after market axels created equal?

    I had to shim the caliper on one side with my moser's. not a big deal. Aslo the tone ring surface was a bit larger diameter than stock so getting them on was no fun. they are all very similar alloy's. I think I would try the FRPP axles. they are cheaper and maybe closer to stock on the...

    How bad will gears effect my mileage?

    if you staying n/a go 4.10's. the milage difference is not going to be much and you need the gear. I mean I am n/a right now on 3.73'a and if I were staying that way I would be kicking myself for not going 4.10. I plan on boosting my car eventually so I decided on 3.73's. I can say I did...

    99 GT brake upgrade - how long?

    there is nothing you need a impact for. all you need to do is remove the wheels, unbolt the caliper and the brake line, re-install the new calipuer/bracket and rotor. bleed brakes. there is no way I would pay even $100 for someone to do that job. the rear is a bit time consuming like I...

    engine questions

    hp is irrelevant IMO. 1. set a budget 2. set and et goal. I mean a correctly setup car can run 11's with 400hp at the wheels. you have to remeber your transmision and rear end are done at that kind of power level. so if you really wanted 600hp you would have to upgade these things...

    Brakes on a 2001 Expedition

    lager rotors would require a different caliper bracket at minimum. one thing I have noticed about brake upgrades is larger rotors usually = differet caliper which = more $$$. stainless lines, freshly turned rotors, nice pads, should give you a decend brake feel inmprovment I would think...

    looking for an upgrade!! CAMS or NITROUS?

    with $800 to spend cams will be hard. cams $500 minum springs $180 tune $350-400 so by my math that puts you at $1030 doing the job yourself. now NOS on the other hand if used in moderation in a wet kit most likely will not need a tune more of buy a bit of dyno time to verify you are...

    99 GT brake upgrade - how long?

    my school of though is what I make an hour and how long It would take me to do it. If they are charging $160 and you make less than $40 any hour it is a no brainer because I can't see anyway somebody could not be done in 4 hrs. the only thing I would search out is just the brake bleading...

    99 GT brake upgrade - how long?

    I would not do the rears or if you do, do it yourself. the rear cobra kit requires pulling the axles and all that so labor is going to hit you hard. muscle motors makes a rear 13" kit thant does not reqire pulling the axels if I remeber right. or just buy some nice looking rotors and paint...

    Ford Racing "B" springs

    If you look on fordracing.com they have the drops for both fox and 99-04 cars. for exmple when I was looking people would say buy b or C springs they are cheaper. I would say I want more drop than that and people would chime in they got more than the 1 1/8 inch. now this is nice if I just...

    Tire thoughts

    I would do 245/45-17 bfg kdw-2's. if you have 8" rims that is. that why you speedo stays correct. stock tire diameter is 25.7 you could consider running a 255 tire if you want wider but 255/45 will be a tad taller (26.1).

    Ford Racing "B" springs

    this is the whole reason I did not run the ford springs. If they don't drop as advertised there quality control is not there. If you spring rate is x amount and all the cars wieght the same the drop should be static on all cars. I went h&R becasue they completely leve the car front to...

    Need opinions on T45 swap, please help!!

    week shoudl be plenty. as long as you have some long extentions and swivels and remeber to jack the front of th engine up a little to get the top bell housing bolts easier I can't see not haveing the tranny dropped in a couple hours. then you need to find a shop to resurface you flywheel...

    driveshaft issue

    okay if the slack is in the drive train it should be very easy to find. 1. ujoints (pull the driveline and inspect them) 2. ring and pinion backlash (factory specs are .008-.012) 3. transmission mount 4. transmission (not likely) 5. output shaft and driveshaft yolk. (easy to check) put...

    Need opinions on T45 swap, please help!!

    there is no reason to pay someone for a tranny swap unless you just don't want to do it. I mean the only thing that holds a tranny in place is bolts. If you have: a jack jackstands basic hand tools you can swap a tranny. now I would do the clutch and re-surface the flywheel wile...
