sweet are you running a fuel cell or stock tank?

 

fail erv lol

 

the 9 in has an off set like the 8.8. no need to run anything but the stock tank

 

what did you get the 9 inch out of or are all 9 inches like that?

 

who put the 9" in?

you like the locker?

 

i think you put the 9in in beard

 

Read his sig

 

the 9 in is outta the 79 f-150. same truck i got the front axle outta

ya zach the locker is nice. can deff tell its in there tho when turning.
when i put it front reverse to drive the is a big clunk tho. Havent had a chance to look under and see if its just the front u joint or if its act the gears. i hope its not the gears

not sure who put it under. i just came outside and it was there. thanks whoever did it.

 

ahh thanks

 

detroits are know to do that. kevin 2002fx4 has a detroit in the rear of his truck and it makes the same noise in reverse.

 

interesting... didnt know they made that noise.

check it out evan, get it off the ground see if there is any play in it. like i said I am no mechanic but it felt good to me.

 

How can you say you're not a mechanic Zach. lol

 

no certs, no training, i just give it a shot and if it didnt work try again.

 

Thats the best way to learn....Just go threw a lot of money haha

 

i hope so. im still gonna have the driveline tech look at it when he shows up. the guy who was suppost to do my gears i found out was in emergancy the day he called off. cant get mad at him for that. lol

i just put it on the hoist and check all the u joints, they are good, no alxe wrap.

zach the gears felt good to me to. if anything they were a little tight and my concern is looseness in the drive line. unless something came loose on us i donno. i may have to pull the 3rd member and check :/

just hope to fix it before the mounds.

i got my new u bolts made as well. i said at least an inch longer and the guy made them 12.5in I.D. i couldnt even get a deep socket to turn the bolt all the way down cause they were to long. lol
were good now tho

 

lol it is. if u screw up once, ill bet you dont do it again.

 

sounds good evan! let me know, i would think you would be getting a whine if they were not setup properly. Lockers are known to make crazy noises, not what your used to.

 

ya. im hopin its just the locker. i need someone else to see how much driveshaft play they have. i could have always had this play just never made the noise. i donno.
gotta check for play in nuteral btw

 

Yea I've got a detroit in the rear of mine and it makes a ton of noise. I would describe it more as a racheting or snaping noise tho... but maybe mines f-ed up...haha

ps... saw your truck going down michigan ave the other day. Look sweet. Keep it up!

 

^^ lol thanks

well the 3rd member gotta come out. the tech says its moving way to much. io think we screwed up on that pinion nut zach. he was saying 200lbs for that. it should loosen up when we get that much torque on it. im gonna try and pull it out on lunch and have him reset it

 

you should be able to tighten the pinion nut with it still on there! i kinda questioned that. sucks man. but you will get it fixed.

 

well once u tighten the pinion nut more its gonna pull the gear away from the ring. so were gonna have to set the backlash and foot print again.
i still plan on being at the mounds. that is as long as nothing is already messed up

 

got yea, that may have been why it changed that first time and i had to reset it.

 

well i pulled the 3rd member out took it over to the driveline tech. he said they were perfect. so im outta ideas on whats causing it. only thing i can think of is the locker.. i donno. anyone have a detroit locker with any imput? the drive shaft is moving like 1/4 to 1/2 a turn when i put it from reverse to drive.

 

you will have to show me this weekend. mine moves alot too.

i bet its the locker.

glad to hear its perfect! sucks you had to pull it though. was the fluid nasty looking?
