Re: PO has me PO'd
You have to untemper it to cut it and then retemper it, and you run the risk of it shattering in the process..

Re: PO has me PO'd
On my build thread, I posted my spacers and a few post later, where I got them from for someone else.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Nope, no problems at all. I tightened the lugs to the highest setting on my impact rather then the middle one.

Re: PO has me PO'd
For as much money and effort as you have in your truck, I'd seriously consider calling up Moser and asking them how much for a housing and axles. It'd probably run you about $1500 if you use your guts, or about $2500 for a whole new rear end with a new ring and pinion and an Eaton posi. My 9" complete with an aluminum 3rd member and a Wavetrack posi, was $3K. I know that is a whole lot more than spacers but in the end it's exactly what you want it to be and it's brand new and fresh.

Re: PO has me PO'd
I'm just sayin'
For me, I widened the rear by a lot, like 5" due to the fairly extreme offset of the wheels I chose. With Moser it was just clicking check boxes and they just made it, fitted for a C-10, click, done. So my housing is 5" wider (or so, I forget, but 75" tire bulge to tire bulge) then stock, has Ford Torino flange ends to match the custom 'Vette brakes, and C-10 trailing arm bracketry, and all that was "standard stuff" for them. I considered doing it as a 12 bolt, but it was actually stronger and lighter to do it as a 9" and about the same price...mmm actually with the Wavetrack it was cheaper because the 31 spline Wavetrack was on special, like $300 off, it was the best posi and near the cheapest price. I actually called them and went over it on the phone, but in the end I could have just ordered it on the website. So you know the Wavetracks, both wheels turn whether they are loaded or not. Eaton type posi will not do that, the only other thing that does that is lockers which are noisy and eat tires. Along the way I had planned on using this shortened tailshaft assembly for the 4L80E that made it the same length and interchangable with a 4L60E, which I thought would be a good idea, anyway the transmission parts place never delivered the actual shaft, just the casting so I returned it. That tailshaft used, or was supposed to use, the same 27 spline output shaft as a 4L60E/TH350, and I ordered a 3450 strap yoke from Moser for it, after I abandoned that plan I needed to exchange it for the 4L80E/TH400 type yolk and Moser did that no questions asked, just charged me shipping. I would not hesitate to buy from them again, everything about buying from them was easy. |

Re: PO has me PO'd
OK, back onto the topic of the build.....
Wiring harness is starting to come together, after ripping out the cable for the crank trigger from the XFI and moving it over to the XIM, cleaner install, as the shielded cable has the correct connecter for the crank trigger Started to make my fuse and relay mounting board  20141017_121605 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/people/97391199@N06/

Re: PO has me PO'd
Post 129 shows the head unit
post 214, if you look at the wiring above the wiper area, you can see the antenna post 222, you can see it as well post 263, you can see it on the cowel. Its magnet mount, so it moves around whenever I want. Its more towards the vents in this shot. But its also the first one that shows with the cowel on. post 307, right picture, shows it as well. But this one it might be mistaken for the vents. All these, I know what I have n what to look for. Since you dont know what I have exactly, your not sure what to look for. But its magnet mount, about 1/2" tall, 2" round. |
