do that with the engine running? or just "ON"?

make sure what hose is submerged? and yes i bled it first, then when i put it in and had to take the rear lines back off the level went down to the circles inside there. i just refilled it from that point.

 

[jd4242]

Running.you have to have a hose on the bleeder nip submered in fluid

 

[Xeek]

i noticed a problem when i looked up my pedal issue. my calipers were on the wrong sides making them upsidedown! cant bleed the air out when air is lighter then fluid and the screws on the bottom lol

and you said id have no slack at full droop? guess again!

thanks for the idea of using my hoist as a jack, i feel safer jacking the rear with it. lol

 

[jd4242]

You have air in them that the prob.under pressure it won't matter where that screw is!yea look how much you bent that damn bracket!!

 

[Xeek]

well theyre flipped around correctly now anyway! i looked and dont see anyone using them upsidedown, so there must be something wrong in doing that with all your crazy talk of pressure! lol

i told you, i just had to bend the bracket. that what other soaers had done to fix it. the hard line isnt suffering cause of it either, so its fine!

 

[Xeek]

everythings good. i feel a little more power. feels way different with the lift/gears/no swaybar/locker.

locker im having fun with on turns lol

 

[jd4242]

You will break it doing that! Its made to let off gas in turns on solid surfaces

 

[Xeek]

im not going crazy, i lightly hit the gas for 1 second. ive only done it twice....

 

[Xeek]

feels more firm on shifts. like yours jd, that small jerk/thump on your rear.
thought it was the bigger gears, but you have 488 with 36s so that aint it. thought it was the locker, but yours is in the garage so that aint it.
so ive some to the conclusion my old rear was just piss poor sack of crap that just barely got me down the road.
cracked it open, fluid was DARK brown(smelly), and every gear had some metal-on-metal wear markings on it.

theres no gear markings there either. just a ford part number. tag on axle says 3.55 tho.
just weird cause the new one says 3.73 on the gear that goes to the driveshaft

 

[Xeek]

its not letting me edit anything.
i was gonna add that the diff cover on the old rear is made of plastic

im on another forum for va people, mostly the jdm hondas, integras, subis, vw's, witha small offroad section(brandons on there). and they have an event at a car shop(guy does awesome welding) on june 25th, with a dyno for 3 runs at $50.

i was thinking it was a possibility to try. from what i understand its hard to hit 200rwhp? so im maybe 180? only one way to find out! lol

 

[Xeek]

some meat. 32x11.5r15

ay yo jd, do you think youll do your gears before july? if so i want them and i need time to either buy f150 spacers or ebay spacers so they can go in at the same time.

 

[jd4242]

Not doing gears till after the trip

 

[Xeek]

damn, well the offer for a rallys trip for helping with spacers to fit the 32s is still valid then

 

[jd4242]

When and where is the dyno?180...... Noway!!!! I say 140ish to the ground..maybe less!!all you done really is the cam,everything else may add 2-5 hp,cam will only add 10-15!!!I'm prob only around 180ish.ill have to see if I can help,I'm sweatn gettn my own stuff done!

 

[Xeek]

on june 25th

and its this place http://www.rameybuilt.com/, air/fuel monitoring is included
eh, idk, i just threw a number out lol


well ill get the spacers first, if you can help then ill mount the tires, if not ill just run the 32s on the rear only for the trip.
no way i can run them without a lift, your bald ones rub (very little tho, just barely touches the wheel well)
besides, then it wont look as funny lol

 

[jd4242]
