Anyone in or around NE CT have a D/S I can borrow?

I am fighitng noises since my gear install. I kinda think it is a combination of D?S and the gears as I know the gears had a bad initial install. But I want to rule out the D/S so does anyone have a stocker lying around I can borrow for a couple few days jsut to change what my car is doing without me having to pry open my already overdrawn wallet?

I am in Killingly... My Bud lives in Beacon Falls though... Maybe I'll have to take a road trip out there to see him...


Why'd you take your out?

Chris

True, But here is my dilemma with a quick history:

Gears installed 130k miles. Noticed noise on highway after install, speedo reading 100 mph (uncorrected, 74 mph actual). Shortly after couple hundred miles of babying it i notice some clunking in the driveline again at the higher speeds.

Pretty sure this clunking was there before the gears but I had only exceeded 100 mph once the week before the gear install (this is to relate to d/s speed).

I had a bad pinion bearing so by 131k miles the gear noise and clunking was so bad I took it back to the shop for all new bearings. It also seemes like it had a ton of backlash (would bang on every shift).

With all new bearings the gear noise was basically the same as before (not surprising with 1000 miles on them in a bad fashion), the banging while shifting was gone, but the clunking at speed was still present.

Now since I think it was there before and it is only when deccel at above 70 moh or so I think I have a bad u-joint and/or an out of balance d/s. If i can determine it is the d/s I can probably jsutify a new alum one before the prices go up much more than they already have. This is why if I can get another d/s in there and the symptoms of the clunking change or go away it is d/s related (turn the problem on and off).

If anyone has any other suggestions I am open to all thoughts.

I do also know that many guys have done gears then needed d/s work to make up for the higher d/s RPMs.

I PM'd you.

What Speed or RPM did it start at? I am definitely still interested...

Chris

perfect. My bud can possibly pick it up tonight and with the cost of gas he will actually probably mail it to me as my truck will run me $30-$35 round trip and the shipping is less than $20...

Chris

Well I got the d/s on and took it for a drive last night. Changed a lot of what the car was doing so I just ordered a new FMS one from Summit...

Thanks Again!
