  1. I dig it, cool.
  2. What are you guys seeing that I'm not, first post is NOTHING!
  3. I don't see a thing.
  4. No, I believe that is exclusively GM's small pattern.
  5. What is that pic of? Where can I find the rest of the story? I'm interested in the sway bar.
  6. Image Not Found Elsewhere you said that you would have gone +20 of you were to buy new wheels again. 18x9...correct? Assuming +-0 is 4.5" or center- +20 will move center back 3/4" or to 5 1/4" backspacing....correct? Do you have any problem with rubbing at full lock? I'm moving from WJ lowers to adjustables ....any problem you can foresee there? Tire size will be 285/60/18. What tire size do you have? The wheels I'm considering are offered with +14......good compromise? Thanks
  7. http://nwga.craigslist.org/cto/4903108543.html Here, nice and clean.
  8. If your VC or sender or distributor....or.........leaks oil, it will load up in the starter and cause it to fail.
  9. Nipping at the bottle again?
  10. Since you asked for opinions.......... It's a cut up chopped up POS. Keep your $9K
  11. Thanks, have you installed it yet? If not, let us know how it runs when you do.
  12. Which cam is this? Details?
  13. Please don't take what I said personally. I rarely post with the idea that I'm posting directly to the OP but to the next guy that reads your thread, be it six hours from now or six days from now or six months from now. As for Bill, the next guy that takes his differential for repair may not find a Bill. And there are other solutions besides a $1300 repair of a D35. I too am in the same boat, nearly $14K invested. As for local......there ain't much around here and even less of suppliers that know their @$$ from a hole in the ground......nope......no allegiance.
  14. Next time when in doubt try a magnet. :yes: You haven't mastered the language of Yout. Have to read backwards between the lines with a Yout decoder ring.
  15. The 'valance' or air dam........on mine is plastic, not metal.
  16. Don't have the E12bolts? No, of course not. But I have dealt with worse. I have patience with such things....so I'm told.........and apparently most folks do not. I also have an impact.....three of them......and air ratchets......and a $#!& load of tenacity :)
  17. The AX4 and AX5 are physically identical and will bolt up. The gearing is different though from what I understand. I have only had the AX5 and those came with 4.10 gears in the differentials. The AX15 that came behind the 4.0s will not bolt up.

In my earlier post I was thinking of Detroit Trutrac which is the unit that I would use and is priced around $650. Prices above......yes, you could shop and save but the prices are near actual cost and are Spicer brand. When you take a repair from a repair to a restoration......in my opinion and practice........you replace everything with new, you are only retaining the housing. Why? $1300 for repair or $1600 to drive away with a completely new rear axle....? Saving $300 makes no sense when you are already spending $1300.....? right? Now, investing that kind of money in a D35, that's another matter. I suggested you buy all the parts so YOU know whats being installed in YOUR axle. I would never leave that decision to a shop.......they do not care.......neighbor......school buddy.......or not.
  19. Granted, I have the 2.5, but I've had three transmissions in my truck and I've had no problem swapping them. I have no idea what you guys are cursing and swearing about? And I'm about to do it again.
  20. Ahhhh........that's what it is....thanks.
  21. I'm a sober guy. 16 years on May 6th.
  22. Is that $372 per year?
