Like I said, you don't need extensions with the right length harness and O'riely's/Murrays has them. I'm running them, NO extensions.

 

sweet next time ill check them out thanks for the info. im running lean right now b/c i had a exhaust leak i know of i dont know if thats what caused the lean code but it was my guess so tomorrow my header hi flow cat and tru dual install will be finished and hopefully the new o2s plus the lack of a exhaust leak will get rid of the cel. ill be posting videos hopefully saturday or sunday its been really nice out here today and is supposed to stay in the 70s and above all weak so i wont mind doing the videos. thanks for all the help

 

FWIW: Obviously I've been into the 8.8 I had numerous times. New bearings, Limited and locker carriers, multiple gear sets, multiple bearings, multiple fresh starts with oil... 2 different wheel sets and tire sets. Still hopped irritatingly at 45mph... Even with a motor and trans swap... I did ALL that ****, and the damn thing hopped at 45 until I got fed up with blowing 8.8 pinions and splitting the carrier as the final straw.

Installed a 10.5, smooth. Just my experience, I end my discussion.

 

Your just to lazy to tightened you seat bolts

 

I had an issue with a hop and whining in my rear end around 45mph or so in the past as well. Come to find out it was caused by the pinion bearing housing. I am pretty sure that is what its called. Either way, its basically a little funnel shaped "O" that the bearing rest inside of. My "bearing housing" developed a chip in it somehow , but that caused all my problems. Once they replaced those little housings along with the bearing on that side, I have been problem free for a long while. Idk if maybe thats something you guys might be having an issue with.

 

Yea, the LS 9.75's do the same thing, just higher speeds, @ 55 mph. Changing out the juice with GOOD stuff (Amsoil) and Modifier (if required, some rear gear EP oils have modifier in the mix) does wonders.

Amsoil your entire drivetrain (trans as well) and you may even get a little better mileage

 

heres my latest:







just the front



new front end



everything gone



old on the right new on the left.

 

Thats definitely awesome! I told you that matte black on the Lightning wheels would be awesome. The front end looks mean! BUT I would add a skid plate or something to hit some of that crossmember and everything up front. Also, you dont have enough lights on that thing.

 

^ya im going to add a roof rack with either some HID lights or a LED light bar....

and yes the matte blk works amazing!!! i will be adding a skid plate..i now have a friend who has 3k acres and a massive barn with everything id need to fab one up. this next weekend when i go there to go muddin with a couple friends ill talk to him bout it and get his .02. I also wanna fab up something that kinda goes in front of my lights cuz if i hit something theyre the first to go...so maybe do an extended skid plate that goes 2in in front of the light bar...hmmmm

 

NICE! Here is my .02, not that you ask

Run a skidplate from right in between the tow hooks down to about the spot where the stock crossmember meets the fabtech one and weld on two pipes that extend from the crossmember to the skidplate. Then just get another piece to cover the space between the tow hooks and the horizontal bar where your lights mount. Understand what I mean?

Tack some wire mesh over the fog lights if you are worried about those. Maybe a little thicker than chicken wire type?

 

So your saying if my rear end starts bouncing, all I have to do is change my fluid and it will go away...

 

Sure, than can hop so bad @ 45-55 mph, you may think your trans is going fall out lol.

Change the rear fluid and it may go totally away within 75 miles.

Don't roll your eye's at me pinhead, you obviously don't know Fords.

 

Ill see if i can photoshop something tonight.

 

Im sorry, but telling someone after they put on a lift and new tires and now has wheel hop that changing your diff fluid is going to magically fix it is the dumbest thing ive heard in a long time. I have to thank you though, you made me laugh on a bad day.
I can see a driveline vibration, but not a wheel hop. Ive had trucks that have had diff fluid over 100k, so burnt and milky from water..but it never caused anykind of wheelhop.


So your saying if he changes his fluid it will go away??

 

Oh yea, it's not just "could", but it has, many many times in the past. Likeauh magic,to one who doesn't understand (not mentioning names). The dumb part;- sorry, looks like I can't help you there. So much for your day ehh, - batten 1000 lol..
