RaceRangers Build

[RaceRanger97]

Got all my parts ordered up for my 9". Cant wait to have it under the truck, going to build it over the course of next week. whent with a 5.67 ratio, should put me about 4k rpm at 70 and 5k at 80 not using overdrive. This set up is good to around 1200hp with the 35 spline axles, so i dont think i will be breaking this thing anytime soon.

Truck is lookin real good. Is it difficult to drive without the power steering pump on there?

its tough, but I plan on putting the pump back on and add a power steering box when I do the x-over steering set-up.

probably not, but power steering will be alot better than manual though. I will hopefully link it sometime after huckfest. I have been thinking about doing a core style link setup like Steve Herrera's Race truck.

Yeah pretty much, we shove the new tubes in a lot farther than stock though. Almost to the carrier bearings.

Whent to the Battle at Primm race last weekend, had an awesome time and def got me a lil more motivated on the ranger.
