So I'm start to get into some more major mods these days on my 98 Mounty and I've been hanging on to this badass 20 or 25gallon aluminum fuel cell I got awhile back and also have this super nice rail mounted inline pump... I already have a switch panel made up and installed and I always planned...
I've read on pirate and a few other sites guys saying that te knuckles on a Dana 50 TTB front end are the same as a front Dana 60....
Anybody here have any real world experience with this and can tell me either way??? Cause I can get a whole TTB 50 front right now for free....
Thanx guys!
Please help brakes wont release!
First let me start by saying I have a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer with the 5.0L V8 with the 5R55W trans, and 8.8rear with 3.73gears an LSD, and ABS...
My problem happen when I was just driving along earlier today and the next thing I know i feel pressure in the...
So I recently bought a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer, its a 2wd model with the 5.0L engine... All in all I got an amazing deal on the rig, But I had a pretty narly "clacking" noise coming from underneath, originally I was convinced I had a bad u-joint in my driveline but both are perfect and were...
I think ya it would be a nice setup only if it was an 8.8 or a 9 i dont know and if it had discs. . . and i mean its gonna either cost more or take more time to swap it in verse an 8.8 from a truck or explorer. . .
Somebody else will hopefully chime in on this but i do know if u look in the...
I gotta ask. . . if u have done an SAS in the past why r u going to use stock parts and a whimpy dana 30? what did u have under there before?? and what type of suspension did u have using a trackbar????:D
Really depends on how hard you are on it and what you do with it. If u DD it and wheel it on the weekends, then id say go with the 35 way less work and as far as i know none to very little custom work involved:icon_thumby:
If u drop i v8 and 35s on it id be more worried about the 7.5 in the...
Haha ya exactly i did the whole car thing for awhile and is all it got me was a bunch of tickets:icon_idea: I live in a pretty small town where all the cops know me by first name basis and owning a truck keeps ya under their radar for the most part!!!
And ya i beat this thing pretty good, i...
Haha no worries man, I think the main problem i have is im used to driving a 79 350 and a77 250 one with a 14bolt and one with a 60 in the rears, so im kinda acustomed to beating on my axles pretty hard. . .
But honestly i can stand swappin shafts out the thing that i cant stand nemore is the...
I know u guys with TTB dont really have to deal with it, but its a pretty natural thing on the IFS rangers for them to lean towards the drivers side!:thefinger:
these things definetly didnt come balanced from the factory, my gas tank is on the drivers side and i rarely ever have a passenger so...
Like i said this is middle of the metamorphasis, it will be on atleast 36's but i think i scored a screaming deal on some 39in iroks today so i guess its 39s:headbang:
I have another 87 4x4 ranger im going to be eventually dding once i replace the heads on the 2.9:bawling:
So this is...
Like i said multiple people learning how to drive a stick dumping the clutch sure as hell didnt help. . . and yes i drive hard (stupid) sometimes. . .
If i fricken smoke a 70 im in trouble. . . isnt this the whole point tho of working on ur own rig???? You get to make it urs and find what...
Ya it was a 28spline, so ya it didnt help but wasn't worth the time to upgrade the explorer version. . . especially since in my neck of the woods they go fo$300 or more usually and i have a total of $110 into the whole 70 swap:icon_thumby:
But ya im hopefully starting the SAS after the new...
32s:thefinger: haha but im pretty hard on it, and it sure as hell doesnt help it was spooled up in the rear:shok: which driving it daily definetly adds more stress:bawling:
Honestly after 3 snapped shafts and 1 spun axle tube it was just time to upgrade!:headbang:
I think it has alot to do...
it actually sits perfectly level side to side and front to back now. . .
and yes for the time being i have 5lug front and 8lug rear:thefinger: I have my 8lug 44 sitting in my garage just still collecting parts. . . I had to kinda rush the rear in my truck since i blew another shaft in the...
SO i just got done with swapping a dana 70b in the rear of my 98 ranger, I got sick of blowing shafts and eating up the outer wheel bearings with the shaft! Not to mention im driving a virtually stock truck and have also spun an axle tube so it was time for more beef!!!!
It came in the form of...
Just to clarify. . . YES u can turn around corners YES ur tires screach on tight one YES it wears out ur tires quicker YES u can whimp perfect donust YES its super fun and well worth and YES i run either a spool or just welded on ALL my rigs:thefinger:
People always talk shit about spools on...
