yeah im just going to have to suck it up and pay, the shop wont touch it if i do any of the dis assembly. so i have to take it to them to dis assemble, then pick it up and drive it across town to the shop that will weld the tubes then take it back again lol.

[Mr. Red Pony]

Getting the tubes welded to the housing?

[Mr. Red Pony]

I started Friday. and only spent about six hours in total on it.

[Scholl]

Haha nice ive spent like 12 hrs on mine so far. But I sanded and primed the housing and cleaned everything inside and out, im in no rush, i only work on it 1-2 hrs at a time. But im ready to get it on the stang. Especially with ne quad shock, front/rear rotors, and brakes! im doing it all

i know what you mean, i spent like 10 hours to go from this



to this

[Scholl]

haha yeah the time just goes by so quickly. But the rear end id looking good southfour. I primed mine and im gunna paint it once im done setting the backlash and checking backlash. I just bought this epic bearing driver set today. Comes with 8 attachments from 1inch to 4 inch

[Mr. Red Pony]

Did you remove the quad mounts?

FYI. On the S-spring, ford's method worked best. Hammer it in.

[roth515]

Sweet what do you think of your 4.10's? I just upgraded to a 8.8 posi with new ford racing 4.10's. I love the launch and the tires chirping going into second. But I havnt really tried to break them loose yet. I feel like I completely lost my top end though. Did this happen to you?

[roth515]

I'm not sure it it was the s spring that I'm thinking of, but the shop that helped me do mine just heated it up in an oven and if slid on perfectly.

[Mr. Red Pony]

If you heat a spring, it looses it's.. Well.. Spring.

[Scholl]

I have the quad mounts and the brackets and bolts for them, I ordered new quad shocks too As for the S-spring I used a piece of 3/16" X 1" steel that was 2 feet long and basically slide the s-spring in on the steel and started hammering, it helped channel the s-spring in and worked pretty well, then after the s-spring was in I just wiggled the piece of steel out. It worked quite well. And my drilled and slotted rotors and breaks come in this afternoon

probably not what i was refering too then. I hope not anyway.

[Mr. Red Pony]

It was probably a bearing. Not a good idea either. But hey, it's not like it's in MY car.

[roth515]

Eh, oh well, everything is working just fine..

But you never answered my question. How do you like your 4.10's? I feel like i lost power when i try it get on it while going around 55-60.

That seems right....you're gonna be at a higher rpm range than stock gearing and will have less torque to get that initial pull.

[Mr. Red Pony]

Idk yet nits still sitting in my shed. Monday it's going in.

[roth515]

Ah, well let me know what you think then. I am surprised that my gas millage hasnt dropped too much from swapping gears.. i think my hand held tuner kind of counter acted it.
