Re: She is back.

The burb has been in the shop the last few days and we have solved the vibration in the drive line. The shop that installed the 700r4 and had the driveshaft cut down shortened it too much. We lengthened the front drive shaft an inch and also installed 4 degree shims to correct pinion angle. They changed the spider and axel gears and the right side axel and bearing. I also determined I already have 3.73's. The place that did the initial work told me I had 2.8??? some thing and I thought that is why sometime the 700r4 is hunting for a gear from 3rd to 4th sometimes. So I will get with the guy who rebuilt the tranny and see what he can do about that. I still haven't installed the new rear spings or radio but am super happy that my vibration is gone. I took it to my old driveline shop in Dallas and drove it about a hundred miles to get back to work with no problems.
