I think he was hoping you'd elaborate on the story. :D

yeah, to drop 2" you'll need to use different leafs. keep your mains and it'll all line up. :thumbsup: also be sure that each leaf is properly supported. you can seriously bend the leafs if they hang out to far from the one below (especially the main).

yup :thumbsup:

in my opinion that half-inch isn't worth the loss of spring-wrap prevention.

Nope. that's perfectly normal in axles. because of differing axle sizes, the ring gear size change and the tooth count changes. manufacturers just get the ratios close enough to work. the difference between a 3.55 and a 3.54 is smaller than the difference in tire diameters. :thumbsup: there are limits though. 4.09, 4.10 and 4.11 are all considered the same ratio. but, for example, mix a 4.10 with a 4.30 and problems will happen.

it's a bone-stock, running camaro so it should be as good a price as any. looks like 6-800 based on the insta-quotes. I think dad will be pleased with that. between trailer rental and diesel, doing it ourselves could easily match that (plus the aforementioned 24 hours of driving). excellent :D

can't seem to find that thread about vehicular shipping companies so I guess I'll start another. who have you used and how did it go? we need to get he camaro to GA and I'm not really keen on another uhaul trip. the MJ was enough fun for me.

I see from your past posts that you have an 87/4.0. I know in 88 the 4.0 had at least 2 different alts with 2 different brackets depending on which level output the alt had. not sure on 87, but it wouldn't shock me to find they did then too.

there are some major differences in alts between engines, between years or even during the same year for the same engine. its possible you have the wrong one for your truck. like they said, we need more info :thumbsup:

dag nabbit! I'm out of town again! :( sigh, maybe next year...

i don't think that 'll calm her down; it'll probably just piss her off more! :rotf:

:bowdown:

memory, memory, memory. after you've eliminated any bad stuff going on, upgrade that ram card. :thumbsup:

:rotf:

that look is priceless :D

I'll send some out next chance I get. :thumbsup: I didn't bring any stickers with me to michigan though. just cards/magnets so anything else would have to wait til I get back to GA in a couple weeks.

oh, right. the other thing. :doh: yeah, I imagine a trip up to Troy is in my future. :D

PM sent troy, AL?

message sent :thumbsup:

AX-5 came behind our 2.5s

thanks for the thought, but that'd be a bit much for a side trip in an already 12 hour drive. :( although, I could make it into an excuse to visit Corey... hmmm....
