Patience young grasshopper... He's a one man show. Keep in mind that it takes him 10 (yes, ten) hours to assemble one custom harness. Custom work like that is worth the wait. Who else will build you a harness for that price and not fill it with a bunch of Chevy 'universal wiring'? (You...

You're not one of those 35 year old guys that still lives with Mom, and collects comic books and model trains are you? Choo got issues mang. :rlaugh: PS - The next time you decide to rant, how about using some punctuation? Pressing the shift key, while pressing on a letter key...

Di-electric grease. It is a silicone based lubricant that encourages conductivity, and protects against corrosion. Ask for it at your local auto parts store.

Ralph - Miss Krebopple, I glued my head to the desk. *children laughing* Miss Krebopple - Ralph, the children are right to laugh at you. :nice: Priceless!

You're right, the F100, and even the EB came with the 28 spline units. The F150, F250, E150, E250 (many of the 250 units came with the Dana 60, 61 or 70 axle, some were shipped with the 9" however) and they all came with the 31 spline unit. 35 spline were never a factory option that I am aware...

That's all going to depend on the build of the axle. If you're talking about an axle that came out of a truck, it'll take quite a bit more torque than one that came out of a car. The truck axle assemblies had heavier walled axle tubes, 31 spline axle shafts, and basically the same trac-loc and...

It definitely sounds like you have way more accesory power draw than the stock 35A alternator can keep up with. Since the alternator can't keep up with everything else, it also can't keep up with the items critical to keeping your car running. First - build a proper auxilliary power system...

Yes, You can leave them off. They are only a crud catcher anyhow. Ever notice that none of the aftermarket kits come with them??? :scratch:

Yes. It will never move. The corny traction bars that were so 'rad' in the 80's on every mullet sporting camaro don't work. Not now, not ever. First: Axle wrap is the combination of two motions, not just one as is popularly perceived. The top of the axle will try to rotate forward...

Use the body mounts on the 4x4 frame, and once the unibody is cleaned up, add some bracing, and then mount it to the body mount perches on the frame. Time consuming, but not terribly difficult. I've helped put a couple of XJ's on frames just like that.

9" sense First - pinion should never point down. If you're having that much axlewrap that you have to compensate for it by turning it down, you need a traction aid, else you'll bend your springs into a 'W' (been there, done that) 9" will oil just fine pointed up around 5*, so don't let that...

It's nothing to get excited about. I have to wash my engine all the time (it gets muddy/cruddy) and it'll pull this maneuver. Check the distributor cap, as suggested. Also - if you have an open element breather, and it's sucking water through, it'll act up. Let it all dry out, and hit the...

Are we talking about the same ARB? :confused: In my experience of off road vehicles (mud boggers, rock crawlers, good old fashioned redneck fun, etc) I know of only one catastrophic failure of an ARB. Folks run out of air, or let them get contaminated and they fail due to the owners...

Forget the 1356, it'll give you headaches, the 208 is a more reliable unit. BTW - what are you putting this t-case in? Hit up the Pirate 4x4.com for sale forum for parts. You're right, 3.55 is way too high, that's why I'm stepping up to 4.88's (have the new rear axle ready to drop in...

***Ding Ding Ding*** And we have a winner folks! Unfortunately there is no dumbass vaccine. Nice pinion angle. Spray painting the M/C, overflow bottle and washer fluid bottle add that show winning finished touch to the underhood. Note the excessive use of cheap split loom...

:D Indeed it is.

:rlaugh: :rlaugh: Ha, the sign of a true car guy who gets away with saying that because he has da hot wifey.

OK - U-joint 101 is in session. I've been through scores of joints over the years, extreme angles, big tires, and lots of torque = lots of broken joints. They are easy to change, if you don't have a vice or a press, the old whack-it-with-a-socket trick does well. Get full circle clips...

Put me down for being a lazy bum. I hate tuning carbs, I wanna turn the key, and have the sumbitch run. That being said, I've experimented with some different carbs, Holley is my least favorite (and least suited for my driving 'style' :D ) So I have an Edelbrock 600 cfm, and it did serve...

Foil Tape. Find your favorite A/C repairman, and wangle a deal to get a few feet worth from him, he should have a roll in his van. Hell, a whole roll of that stuff is less than $10, look for an air conditioning supply house near your place. You'll find some pretty creative uses for this tape...
