    High EGT's and no Boost signal

    I have a '01 had the oil leak fixed on the valve cover gaskets and now it is not running right. It did stop the oil leaks but now my Bullydog does not detect any boost it is hooked up to the PCM so the PCM is not getting a Boost signal, it will fluctuate between 0 and 1 lbs. It also reads high...

    Long distance driving?

    what I thinks helps is either get an audio book or find a talk radio station that keeps me the most alert while driving. I have driven 24 hours in one pull once, and never again, it gets dangerous. I usually leave like at 4 in the morning stop at about every 400 miles drive till about 9-10 at...

    Hub question??

    Every hub I have had is counterclockwise is unlock. I run warn premiums on my Jeep never had a problem and I am running 37" tires. And they are, last time I checked, under $150 for the superduty axle.

    Ected "Lockers" Suck

    yea its a c-clip unit the Ford 8.8 usually has C-clip axles in it but I run a Super 88 kit from Superior Axle which changes it to a semi-float and puts the retainer out at the axle end.

    Ected "Lockers" Suck

    I will more than likely go with an arb in the back now too. I put one in the front before the trip to replace that ected, preformed great, and they are serviceable unlike a lot of the other ones out there.

    Ected "Lockers" Suck

    exactly I think they engineer it so you strip shafts before breaking the locker so they can have a warranty

    Ected "Lockers" Suck

    it goes all the way to the bevel of the inner side of the gear. There is only a 1/2 inch worth of splines machined into the side gear of this "locker" the rest is smooth bored. It engaged all of the splines available in the side gear. It sounds like that is just the way it is engineered.
