I am thinking that my gears should be here sometime next week more than likely wed or thurs I would guess and I would like to have all the install details ironed out before they arrive to avoid any complications. It would be nice to have all my mods complete by the 10th membership drive.

Hey I just noticed that there is almost 1000 posts on this thread

Paul, have you been able to do any research on the gear delima?

David, why are you going with 75W - 90 and not 75W -140 ?

DavidM

75-90 is standard weight for the 8.8 limited slip. Came with the kit.

Benji was off today. Randy is asking the details on Monday. I did find out he would be doing the installs at BHF since all of his tools are there. You might get lucky and have the gears installed by the 10th and you might not Dave if you want Benji to do it. Remember, his normal work comes first.

DavidM

Well I hope that once you can get in touch with him we can get more info on his schedule and what he thinks he can realisticly do for us. If he's gonna be a month out for installs I might search around for another installer. I am hopeful that this won't be the case. I like the idea of a certified Ford mechanic doing the work. But my father knows some guys at Nelson Mazda that might be up to the task. I also might contact Chris over at K&M muffler he is pretty much in the loop for things like this. He might know of someone who can do the install as well.

Web-site? .... Ya i know. I was going to go diving tomorrow, but won't have time. Too much to do. I plan on working on it in the am. I will be sending you guys the links and the admin site so that you can edit, add stuff etc. I need help here! Very busy as of late!

The admin site is very easy to use. So easy even a CaveBob can use it!

David, I read about Redline and to me that is the way to go...but the owners manual says 75W - 140, not 90 ??

"CaveBob" will fine tune and bling our new web site....where is it

Paul, how did it go on the truck yesterday ?

Well I got my first whiskey dent... more like a drunking stooper dent. I was pulling the car out to go wash it and I forgot I parked Tracey's car on the left side of the driveway... "BOOM!" Followed by more swearing than a sailor that just found out they got the clap while on shore leave.

My fault... My bad. Stupid on my behalf. See the pics... I will have to replace the bumper, I got the dent pushed out, but it streched the plastic enough to cause creases. I'll be looking at getting a take off piece or aftermarket body kit... Dunno yet.

SOME*****!

2006GT

Check you email... I sent out the website links....

2006GT

Not bad... http://www.newtakeoff.com/index.asp?...OD&ProdID=7849

$160 for a replacement bumber already painted. Still it was a $160 fudge up....

2006GT

Ok... I ordered a new bumper (takeoff) $224 with shipping.... $64 friggin bucks for shipping. OUCH! But I guess it's a pretty big piece.

Sorry to hear about your bumper. It could have been worse. It could have been your door or quarter panels, which are harder and even more expensive to fix/replace.

DavidM

Doooohhh Man, bummer! Well like Jeff said could have been worse.

DavidM

Has anyone done any research on a new throttle body? Do these make a difference or not? I know in the bewildering video building the beast they claim to have picked up power all thru the power band with the addition of a new throttle body.

DavidM

Not that I can spend anymore money I have to save for the gear install and then I'm gonna be waiting for more mods...... At least until next payday

2006GT

Thanks guys. I'm just glad my car is Vista BLue. Any other color and the car would of been totaled....

Throttle bodies... Unless you are going to SC or Turbo... don't waste your $$$.
