Just checked MapQuest... 2,060.7 miles to Turlock from Chattanooga, Tennessee. If I start driving early tomorrow morning, I should be there by the end of the month.

I have a few others of the individual trucks back there wish I had gotten more. and no doubt I think this spring the group needs to roll down there and bust down Rene's back gate and make the backyard a little bit roomier for more trucks

shawno72 · 01-08-2013, 12:20 AM

Yeah we will def have to put together a cruise to somewhere.

Cubber, I got the old van gassed up and will be coming through Unionville to pick you up.

shawno72 · 01-08-2013, 10:48 AM

Haha I love it. Is the shwagin wagon on air?

Ok guys on another note. I am having a little problem. Last September or do I swapped out my one legged 3.73 gear set for a 3.07 posi. Well everything has been good since then but now once the rear end warms up a little I get a popping from the diff. I added 2 of the posi lube additives when I filled it after the install. I'm thinking about draining the fluid an just straight Lucas gear oil. It says on the bottle that you can use on posi units with no additive. What's your guys thoughts?

Thanks Rick, I've talked with some other people and they swear by the stuff so I think I'll give it a try.

Same boat I plan to do my 700r4 swap mid spring and get my rear end all buttoned up with posi and disc and should be good to go

As far as the oil goes that should be fine for the rear end to run hopefully thatll get rid of the popping

NoNeck · 01-08-2013, 01:52 PM

Shawno -

Does the popping happen all the time, when under load, at cruising speed or only when you turn corners? The reason I ask is that all the cars (and trucks) that I have owned with positraction clicked when turning. It wasn't really a pop, but more of a metallic click.

Positractions are set up to "free wheel" when cornering to allow the opposite wheel to catch up. If both axles were "locked" it would bind the tires, causing excessive tire wear and put a lot of stress on the internals.

Are you sure it's not a click... only when cornering?

POP
