new axle

[Alex]

 Well out with the old.


In with the new


All i have to say is my jeep drives so much better with an open diff.  No more grinding when shifting.

[Jimmy]

MAJOR upgrade!

That new D35 is pimp! 

So whats the plan for th 8.8?

[Alex]

well i am dropping the jeep off tomorrow in Athens and getting the truck to get the 44 to the shipper and get the 8.8 hopefully.  I also will be dropping the 8.8 off to get the 4.88's installed sometime next week.  I have Three exams to get though next week so i have to put this on the back burner until after then. I think i am going to try a $20 mini spool this time around.  If i cant stand it i will do something else.  I just really didn't like the lock right in the rear.  It was very unpredictable on the road.

[Chris Hyde]

Minispool.  :-X  You're gonna hate yourself.

What Chris said x2

If you didn't like the locker, you are going to hate the spool. If you want something more predictable, check out a limited slip like a TrueTrac or Auburn Gear. Or, look into the Auburn ECTED. Not a true locker, but it is a limited slip but with a flip of a switch, it becomes a very heavily biased limited slip close to a locker. Or just spring for a selectable locker.

I dont want i LSD as i want a locker.  The reason i didn't like the lockright is  because it was unpredictable.  A spool is very predictable as it is locked all the time.  With a stick the lock right would get confused in corners and lock and unlock many times.  You eather had to push in the clutch or keep on the gas.

I like my full detroit in the rear. It drives nice and is fine on the street.

I completly agree with you there. You know what the spools going to do, so it looks like you are gonna be on the clutch all the time... ;D

Gotcha. Forget you had a stick.
