I have to start hanging out over there. I definately could use a hand or two modding my ex. Especially with this body lift I am trying to get on. Keep putting it off since I have no help :(

won't hesitate too :D Know anything about changing the rear differential cover?

-Rich
 






anybody know some trails around the madison area, working the bugs outta my xploder, sas, soa, lockers, 33's, I wanna break what's gonna break before I really take it somewhere
 






Yeah I think I can handle that and the body lift you speak of in 8 hours.
 






We need to get a run going sometime this month or next.
 






I could do a day run to the Dunes. It is not a really expensive trip there.

Oh, I have the body lift on and my tires. I just need to get the rear differential on now, I just got it in the mail from summitt. I just don't know once I take the old one off how to refill the new one since there is no hole.

There is a hole. If you are looking at the rear end from the front (the side where the drive shaft attaches to) on the upper right hand side of the diff there is a plug. You will need a 3/8's extension and a ratchet or breaker bar. Fill till some runs out and you are done.

I was looking at the clear gearz install and the pumpkin is only half full. If I fill it till some comes out won't mine be too full?

-Rich
 






No it wont be over full.
 






what kind of fluid would you recommend. I have a 3.73 LSD.

-Rich
 






ford recommends 75w-140...but its gettin harder to find so 80w-140 is readily available. oi would also buy a limited slip addative too.

Haven't seen you on here in awhile, guess we been missing each other. Will any autoparts place have the limited slip additive?

You could go with synthetic fluid. It has the same additives as the limited slip additive does and it extends the intervals you need to change the fluid.
