Does the popping happen all the time, when under load, at cruising speed or only when you turn corners? The reason I ask is that all the cars (and trucks) that I have owned with positraction clicked when turning. It wasn't really a pop, but more of a metallic click.

Positractions are set up to "free wheel" when cornering to allow the opposite wheel to catch up. If both axles were "locked" it would bind the tires, causing excessive tire wear and put a lot of stress on the internals.

Are you sure it's not a click... only when cornering?

Did you use a matching ring and pinion set, or did you mix them? Did you dial in the clearance on the gears? Just thinking out loud.

Pops! Love what you've done to the shaggin waggin! Is that a Porterbuilt kit?

Shawno, I bet changing the oil wil help. The fact that it only misbehaves when you've been at high speeds for a while makes me think something isn't doing right at higher temps.

Nice truck. What color are you planning on painting it?

I kinda like the white wheels but the black would look good too!

Been thinking about the white wall. Not really feeling them so I used Microsoft paint to give me an idea of what it would look like. I'm glad I did cause I like the white walls better.......with the wheels painted black :metal:

Hey Shawn, I really like it both ways, it's a hard decision! I feel like with the black walls out is more of a "Hot Rod" look in my opinion, and the whites is kind of a old school look. I love them both and think your truck will look good regardless.

But no hot rodder, back in the day, would have been caught dead with a set of whtewalls.
Maybe some Firestone wide ovals or Goodyear polyglas gt tires,... even redlines,... but never whitewalls.

The "retro look" correctness of dogdish hubcaps confuses me most of the time,... but I do like them.
But if I ran them,... it would be with blackwall tires.

Just my opinion.

I prefer the color/patina matched wheels nixing the white wall vs the black with whitewalls just suits the truck more
