I love going to Dega. Won't be able to make the fall race though because of work.

I think I might try and go to Bristol next. A couple at work went to the night race this year and said it was awesome.

Drove in some very heavy rain last night. Lots of hydroplaning. Could not pass 18 wheelers as there would be a wall of water to go through. Tried once, and was pretty scary, could see nothing at 65 mph, so had to slow to 55. The new truck sure makes a lot of noise from the water coming off the tires. I dread openning the hood, bet the engine is covered in filth. and no inner liners.

That's no good Jim, Ford and all the companies have gotten really cheap. While I like the amenities, the quality would stop me. No inner liners? What kind of a deal is that?!

what procedure did you use to torque down the Ubolts?

might have a pinion angle out with the slight lift you have now.

It might sound dumb but did you put them in with the correct ends facing forwards?

When I torqued them I went diagonal . I started at 25 ft lbs, 50, 70 then finished at 100.

I was kind of wondering about the pinion angle or possibly U-joints.

They're facing the right way.

It only did it a few times today. I noticed it the most when getting on an exit and going around the bend at 25-30 mph.
