I'm looking to rent my garage $300/month you pay utilities. Naugatuck CT Details: The garage is 1000sqft NONCOMMERCIAL. The 10,000lbs 2post lift will stay. There is an exhaust hose and a hole in the garage door so you can run the cars with the door shut. There is a 1/2 bathroom. There is gas...

Hundred of dollars worth of tools is what most people have. Just need a welder and a sawsall. Just another option, it is worth it to me to have the insurance of not breaking 2hrs from home. Just need any d60 housing and some weld on flanges, then buy TJ/XJ 35 spline shafts. Not expensive but...

X2 if you are going to spend the money then spend the money and do it once. You can build a custom D60 with 35spline chrome molly shafts 5 on 4.5 or 5 on 5.5 the correct width, for less then a $1000 if you do it yourself. If I had my choice I would go with the d44 over the 8.8. The gears are...

You can only apply as much torque as you can react. Just think how much torque is on your drive shaft when your tires are off the ground? Zero. So your axle torque is really only a factor of traction and tire Diameter. So more weight= more traction wider tires=more traction Taller tires =...

Agreed. Gearing has nothing to do with you top speed unless you max out your top gear unlikely. If you down shift can you reach 70mph? that is all gearing lower does shifts all your gears down a little so right now you cannot hit 70mph in 3rd then it wouldn't make any difference having lower...

that pictures is from a Kingpin ford D60. I swapped the pumpkin side on that axle. It's not rocket science you just need the C concentric to the carrier bearings when your finished, hell you could use square tube if you really want. But the U-joint especially on a spindle axle float so you...

what's the heat problem your talking about. And AC condenser should be able to take over 200psi your AC gets that high.

Yup I add the sleeve on the inside I turn it on the lathe so it is a press fit. Press in plug weld so doesn't slide press in the other side. Then you have a nice strong joint. Not all the IDs are the exact same size so the lathe was important. A front axle is a lot more forgiving on being...

I feel the same I sometimes want to add some advice in the Advance Fabrication and Engineering

You can drill out the plug welds and press out the tubes but it is pretty hard. Just don't press across the housing crushing the housing. I would just leave the tubes in place and sleeve the new tubes on. The front has more freedom to be off alignment. The sleeve works for a lot of people. If...

http://www.afcoracing.com/tech_pages/leaf.shtml Hope this helps Shackle angle can change the progression of the leaf spring. I'm not going to tell you what is best. That's trial and error or what you feel is best. If you want more flex the more inboard the leafs are the more flex you will...

you can use the A/C compressor as an air compressor but it is internally oiled so eventually it will burn out I've used the stock a/c compressors for a while I just spray oil in ever now and then. Whats the worst you spend $20 on a pressure switch. Especially if you just use it for tires every...

Cool Cool I forget what everyone's screen name is. I was going to say if your close I could lend you the book.

No problem where in CT are you? I see they have a second edition now. I have the first.
