    Shifter movement

    Back from a trip. My truck did a good job for what I was towing at this time. 5k lbs . I did change the fluid in the transmission before the trip and the fluid was dirty as expected but no bad metals came out after the drain. Refill with Lucas 80/90 GL5 for the refill. Shift is good as expected...

    Shifter movement

    I have a 86 f350 6.9 turbo 2wd cab/chassis. I have noticed while driving that the shifter will move when the gear box is in third gear which will move when i give it fuel or let off . It does not make any noise . Has anybody had this issue or know if this is going to be a big problem?

    Ring and pinion

    I have found a 80 mod cab and chassis which i found out that it is a dana. The owner can not find the axle tag but the truck is a 2WD gas power. Would this be a good donner without a lot of altering . I am not sure of all the changes in these trucks. I asked the owner to look at the diff cover...

    Ring and pinion

    Thanks for the info. I should know this due to being in the motorized RV business for 35 years. Must of had my head in a real dark place for a moment. Being wider is what helps the minis with the height issues which make sway bad at times. In the hunt for replacement. Thinking about a build...

    Ring and pinion

    I am in northwest Arkansas. I may stand corrected due to my lack info but the cab and chassis is a little different critter than the trucks with a bed. I have found a few 4:10s far away and seemingly very pricey. The rig is 2wd so changing to different ratio is no problem i just don't think I...

    It looks like a single wheel axle. Like the price . Not sure but that may not fit my Cab and Chassis.

    Seems like 4.10 has been the ratio of choice. I would like to try to stay with the 3.55 if possible, or go all out throw a gear vender at a 4.10 and see how that works.

    Ring and pinion

    I had a idea that it there was going to be a difference . Looking more like my diff will be a builder unless things change. I will not make a run at building it. I think i would be better letting the people that do this everyday tear into the project and I will do what I know how to . This...

    Ring and pinion

    Found a 88 mod E350 with 3:55 diff in a mini home with a few miles on it. Would this be a dana 80 and could i get lucky and this fit my 86 F350 CC RWD. I am looking for help to get me on the right path. The price is good but my mind tells me this is to good to be true. Any help would be good.

    Ring and pinion

    That is just my luck of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. If i had a transfer case i should have made it a 4wd. Some mods needed of course.

    Ring and pinion

    Going to do a little shopping to see if I can find a good axle and do a swap. The truck has less than 30k on it. Looks like a tear down will tell me more late . Can a 10.5 be installed in place of the 10.25? After looking into the issues that the 10.5 had it seems that the 10.5 was supposed to...

    I haven't found Richmond . I will need to look this up. Finding rust in the rear end just did not come across my mind at the time. Is this a gear kit that u have used?

    Ring and pinion

    Pulled the diff cover off a few days ago and found that the ring gear is in bad condition due to a large amount of rust and bad pits . I have looked at replacement parts. I have found many different brands of ring and pinions on the market. Have not found ford parts on the market. Can anyone...

    Bringin home the kids truck

    From the outside looking in I would have to say let the man behind the wheel make up his mind what he want's to do with his new ride. Looking at the pick with him behind the wheel tells me that he is on cloud 5 and going to 9 as quick as he can. Love to see that look on a young mans face with...
