That sucks, but do ya think it might have something to do with launching with M/T Et Streets on the rev limiter 100+ times with the stock axle?

Nah, I bought 31 Spline moser axles and a Detroit True trac diff, and something in its not right. Lou put it all together for me at Accurate and either the axle on the right side is too long, or the center pin on the diff is in the wrong place. All I know is I spent a bunch of money to get my rear end fixed and all it got me was a fried brake caliper. I think Im never buying another part that doesnt say Ford Racing on it after this experience.

Might I suggest going to DTS??? They built my buddys rear with 31's and took an explorer carrier and stacked it so tight that it is damn near a spool. They do awesome work. Thats who will do my rear.

OT:

It's official guys. I'll be relocating to Atlanta shortly (Hey, it's better than Cleveland). I'll have to try to make it to Dream Cruise to link up with you guys. We'll see how it goes, as my vacation time is getting short due to my trip to Vegas next week. I'll still troll here though.

Like I said before, Don't listen to those other clowns. You shouldn't have to shim a thing. Something isn't right.

WOW that was quick.

What do you think the chances are that you'll be at Woodward this year?

I didn't recognize any names on the list of people who have already registered other than myself.

I don't know about the Cruise this year. It's a long drive up just for a couple days. I still may attend though. Maybe I'll come up and just make my cousin drive his Stang this time since he rode with me last year.

Well Lous the ****, hell figure out whats wrong with it. Its not an assembly issue, its definetly something wrong with one of the parts. We just arent sure which one at the moment. I took the rear end out today and im taking up to his shop tomorrow morning. Hopefully we can fix it, I want to go to fme next week. I still got to get my headers and k member on it.

Question for the local guys...
I'm looking for a gas station that sells 100% gasoline around the Dearborn area. Most stations around here sell gasoline with 10% ethanol. I want to buy the 100% gas. Thank you.

Address is 31963 Block St. Garden City 48135

I thought about this for a while, and I dont really pay much attention to the actual label, but I try to use Sunoco when ever possible. Not only is my uncle a chemist for them, but its american gas! You probably will be hard pressed to find any non-racing petrol that doesnt have at least a little alchohol in it.

I just got the detroit true trac in my car , but I dont have the rear end back in yet. Its been a complete fiasco getting it together. Several sets of axles and wheel studs later, its finally together. If you want to help me put it back in we can go for a ride tomorrow I did drive about 10 miles on it before I had to take it back apart and it feels no different then a stocker. It doesnt make any noise or anything.

Ok just got to the track with the new rear end. Seems no different than the stocker. Although now I think my clutch might be slipping.
