glock35ipsc · 10-01-2009, 09:11 AM

Sweet Dennis, that's awesome!!! I'm digging that color BTW!

OK, so I sorta rigged up some tailpipes last night. They actually turned out pretty decent. I tripped across the tailpipes off my old 03 a couple days ago in my steel pile. I replaced them with a 3" single system when I put the blower on it. I forgot I had them!

They are the same size, 2.25", and have the 4" x 20-something inch tips on them. I managed to get them to look fairly even coming straight out the back about frame width.

Fred sounds SOOOOO much better now!!

I don't like it when the exhaust just dumps over the axle or before the axle. Don't like the sound, and it just seems incomplete. It actually sounds real good now, and I love the deep rumble that those big tips make. I was going to put Flows on soon, but this sounds and looks good enough to hold me over until next year at least.

I'm going to go pick up the rear end at lunch today!

glock35ipsc · 10-01-2009, 05:31 PM

OK, so I didn't get the rear end at lunch, but I'll be leaving work in about 20 minutes to go get it.

I sold some more parts today, so I have enough for a couple new tires now.

Driveway Dreams · 10-01-2009, 05:57 PM

Get it in there like yesterday man!

Codys87 · 10-01-2009, 06:35 PM

New tires means a video of the old ones going up in smoke!!!

menace121978 · 10-01-2009, 10:34 PM

^^^ thanks what i'm talking about!!

Driveway Dreams · 10-01-2009, 11:35 PM

Is that axle in yet?

hessian18 · 10-02-2009, 12:33 AM

Yea what ^^^^^ he said !!

ahahahaahha

Man I cant wait to get started on my truck

**nlped** · 10-02-2009, 08:06 AM

Are you really working on your truck, or are you still drivin' around smilin'?

68 TT · 10-02-2009, 11:33 AM

Did you get the cover off the new rear end to see what type of carrier it is?

I know it has 30-spline axles but it could have a gov-bomb or a clutch type posi carrier or even be an open carrier.

JohnC · 10-02-2009, 11:47 AM

Come on Bob we need updates!!!

Been driving it every day since Saturday! I have over 500 miles on him so far, and just finished the second tank of fuel this morning about a mile away from work. The $25 Shell card I got from my debit card rewards points filled up the driver tank a couple days ago, so the third tank will be free to drive on.

Haven't touch it yet, it's still in the bed, but I'm pretty sure it's an open carrier.

glock35ipsc · 10-02-2009, 03:12 PM

Well good grief, Charlie Brown!!! Not one parts store in this town seems to carry more than 2 wheel studs at a time! Not even the tire shops!

So I'll guess I'll just go get all new lug nuts. At least I know Big-O has both sizes that I need.

I was at least able to get a diff cover gasket, gear oil, and a couple cans of brake cleaner. I'll pull the cover tonight and check the internals out. Then tomorrow after I get the spring pads and shock mounts welded on, I'll put the diff cover back on and fill with lube. The diff gasket seems to be the only thing that leaked, so I didn't get axle seals for now.

JohnC · 10-02-2009, 03:13 PM

You go man!!!!

glock35ipsc · 10-02-2009, 03:20 PM

Damn, posted 1 minute after I did! You stalking me?

**nlped** · 10-02-2009, 03:21 PM

Cool!!!

JohnC · 10-02-2009, 05:05 PM

Uh uh

menace121978 · 10-02-2009, 07:09 PM

I did. Got it on Wednesday, sold it yesterday, and shipped it today!

My sig has always said 3.42! I figure I have it in my possession, so.......

I got the cover off tonight, lube was clean and didn't stink. Well, didn't stink beyond normal gear lube stink. Confirmed they are 3.42's, 12 and 41 teeth. Cleaned the cover and put it back on, then cut off the spring pads and shock mounts. Tomorrow I'll take it outside and pressure wash it, then start grinding.

Should have it all done by early afternoon.

I couldn't find enough wheel studs in town today, so I just bought new lug nuts.

menace121978 · 10-02-2009, 10:14 PM

glad it looks good in there... last time i was rearend hunting i had to pull 5 different covers off before i found a decent set of spider gears.

cant wait to hear your reaction to the new gears!!

**nlped** · 10-02-2009, 10:28 PM

Man, that's great! They will really wake that truck up.

menace121978 · 10-02-2009, 10:39 PM

Ed, i dont think he's been sleeping since last saturday!

glock35ipsc · 10-03-2009, 02:51 PM

Old rear is out, new one has all the brackets cut off and ground smooth. Removed the two lower springs (thick one, and the next longest) and made new locating bolts by turning the heads of shorter 3/8" bolts down on the lathe. The new rear has the spring perches marked. Heading to lunch with the kids now, and will finish it up when we get back.

Pic tonight.

djracer · 10-03-2009, 02:58 PM

Sweet

glock35ipsc · 10-03-2009, 03:17 PM

I took another measurement before we left. Axle flange to axle flange is 1" wider. I was measuring housing flange to housing flange.
