Escorts 2nd SAS

[4.0B2]

agreed.. its worth it IMO.
your gears will work..so its not like you'll have to buy new gears (only other expensive part is the locker, which you don't have yet so...). i think now is the time to do it.

find you a JY axle that has 4.10's (95+) and then sell the gears. i sold my 4.10's for $100 plus shipping. that'll help offset the cost a little. lol. and when you go to ship that ring gear and pinion, it'll fit in the $15 dollar flat rate box.

Yeah, yeah...you talked me into it. Plus, I could always put the expo gears in the 28 and sell it as a whole. My only problem is getting the $$ right now.

Im hard on my 7.5 and it wont die.

Was that with the 7.5 or the 8.8?

I am starting to notice a harmonic vibration at speeds over 60mph. Not sure if it is in the driveline, rear axle, or tires???? Getting the tires balanced and rotated in 2 days, hope that is where its coming from.

My driveline whistles at 55 and 65 mph. I think cuz it is bent

 

[escort_gts]

Hope its not the driveshaft. It just started about a month or so ago.

Bundy Hill opens for the season in March 17th. Me and a few others are going ,maybe have a ranger meet also. But I have a long list of stuff to finish and get ready for the trip.

Finish the winch mount.
Finish bumper, cap ends and recovery points.
Replace pitman arm with shorter drop one.
Wire up the lights on the bumper.
The last trip to bundy I broke the drain valve on the air tank. This needs replaced so I can use the compressor.
Oil change
Balance and rotate tires.
New battery terminals so I can use the winch.
Get a CB.
I'm sure there are other things I am missing.

sounds like a short list of things that HAVE to be done but a good day should knock the whole list out.
