I should introduce him to my ex! She stopped talking so much after the unlubed anal sex, so I had to DX her ass.

Tim was the only national news personality that I thought was real. RIP

The only option that will last long term is "do nothing." All the other treaments, surgery, etc... have to be done constantly. If you have transplants, you'll need them again in about 10 years and again... It's a waste of money. Shave it or wear a hat. Either way, don't cry like a pussy - it's hair, and it's better shaven!

I took this one for another forum that thought I was lying about buying a new truck... http://www.childsinc.com/ext_links/images/roush.jpg

The supercharger and performance tuning... Stage 1 is mainly appearance, Stage 2 throws in handling with a complete suspension upgrade and 3 is the motor work.

Here's my new toy. Bought it off eBay on Friday and flew down to Mississippi and drove back Sat. http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m82/tinsecondrice/roush%20f150/roushf150028.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m82/tinsecondrice/roush%20f150/roushf150013.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m82/tinsecondrice/roush%20f150/roushf150005.jpg

I plan on doing an engine swap later when my farm truck that holds a 351W dies. In the mean time, I am starting at the back on this build up. That means the rear diff. Right now, I don't think I will get the performance from a 8.8 3.08 as I would from say a 9" 31 spline T/L 3.90 once I put the built 351 in there. There are some other factors in my decision also. I need to do a rear brake job and replace the seals right now. Then I have to add that freakin $30 a bottle fluid to the diff after I change the seals. Instead of repairing the rear and since I need to consider gear change for the future, I am trying to decide the best course of action now. I am trying to minimize my expenses and increase the value of my decisions. So, a future power increase will require a gear change. Instead of spending money on new drum brakes, why not swap the whole rear end, since I need taller gears anyways and while I'm swapping, why not upgrade to disc? Does that make sense? I'm planning for the future while addressing today's needs.

Hey gearhead, can you dyno my bike? I got a stage 2 coming and I really want to get it dialed in with my new full Muzzy exhaust.

Thanks for pointing that out Mensan. I can use the tranny out of the farm truck. It's an AODE. I have read that many Mustangs use the 8.8. I wasn't sure if there was benefit to using the 9.75 since it is a truck and a bit heavy, not to mention I do pull a trailer from time to time. I think I will certainly consider the disc conversion and new 4.10 gears. Ever done one of those conversions? Thanks.

The truck will be a daily driver mainly, but I would like to do some hauling with it also. Once I kill the 351 in my farm truck I want to build it and put it in the truck. I should be able to easily squeeze a mild 400 RWHP out of it and I want to know that my rear end can handle it. This would be nice to play around on track days. The 4R70w tranny should be good enough to handle it. I do understand I will need a new master cylinder - I need one anyways! Since the rear drum is anti-lock now, how would I convert the front (disc) to anti-lock to match the new rear disc. Should I try to pull a whole brake setup out of a junkyard to go with the axle swap? Thanks.

Thanks for the calculator, Tinman. Got any advice about whether you think the 9.75 would be better than the 8.8? Also, my truck isn't a 4X4. Thanks.

Ok guys, I don't know how to ask for exactly what I need so I will lay it all out there and hopefully you can help. I own a 1998 Ford F150 (4.6). It currently has a 8.8" 3.08 diff. The rear axle uses drum brakes. I want to go rear disc. I know there are conversion kits out there, but I thought I could replace the rear axle for about the same price. If I replace the rear axle to get disc brakes, I should probably go ahead and upgrade the gear ratio? What do you think? What size should I upgrade to? Would a 9.75" be better than the 8.8"? Should I go as high as 4.10 versus a 3.73 or even 3.55? I do plan on future HP and TQ upgrades later but I want to get the suspension and drive train ready to take it. Am I on the right track considering a 4.10 or even a 9.75? How much is too much? I run at about 2K RPM at 78 MPH. I don't want to lose too much highway speed but having more TQ at higway speed will help with hauling a boat this summer. Thanks. I will have more questions later but this is a good start. p.s. What math is involved when calculating what's the best ratio?

Hey Ron, do you have any bench flow testing equipment?

Oh yea...it was Click.

What's up guys... I just had a run in with Satan and he told me to come to hell, so here I am. Who's the guy that has a sig with a chick running with her boobs bouncing from that movie with Jim Carrey as God? Robbie
