What did you do for your Terminator today?

Because Ford would only use a hub for a 04 IRS. I thought it was stupid but hey what do I know lol
damn man thats weird. A grind that only shows up at speed is odd. Cant think of what would cause that. Rotors rusty? Thinking that would burn off quick though.
They are already cleared off, I guess when I get light before work tomorrow I'll jack it up and check it because it's a odd sound for a newly rebuilt hub
Ya maybe you can figure it out just spinning it with no engine/road noise. It should be making noise all the time.
Installed some new front rotors and pads...awaiting spring to hit the northeast!

Battery relocation! Anyone know a good place to ground it out?

Went for my first cruise of the season yesterday evening. I seriously love this car, so fun to drive. I know it's mentioned a lot on here but it seems every time I take the cobra for a cruise some D-bag at a stop light is pimpin me to race in a crappy civic with a grapefruit shooter exhaust.
I never get anyone messing with other than trucks. I did have kid in a civic with his girl wanting to race. He claimed 450fwhp. At a light he was bouncing it off the rev limiter and took off. I said fine as he jumped 2 cars on me, short shifted into 2nd, put both hands on the wheel and let it eat. Reeled him in and next thing I know I'm at nearly 80mph in a 35!.
Finally got nice enough to awaken it. Drove it all weekend.
Got it all cleaned up and polished this winter with a top coat of cquartz. Talk about glossy. That stuff is awesome. Let's just hope it holds up like it says up to 2 years.

started pulling the diff pumpkin this weekend because i think the pinion bearing is shot - it's really starting to howl and leaking a bit too.
currently it has 4.10s, but i think i am going to reinstall the 3.55s, or maybe go with 3.73s. it's a little too deep for daily driving on the highway.
also, this time instead of removing the hub/knuckle itself, i'm going to try to swing it up out of the way of the halfshaft. that way i don't have to mess with the brakes or the upper alignment cam bolt at all. i did it this way once a long time ago and it worked - hopefully they'll press out easily on this car.
edit: also going to see if autotech (the makers of wavetrac diffs) can take a look at it and adjust it if necessary. it feels like one side does not grab as much as the other, and also will do a "one-wheel peel" if i go up a driveway at an angle. it's not supposed to do that.
they sell it with a limited lifetime warranty and i hope they honor that. it was a very expensive unit.

Curious as to what you find. I suspect my pinion might be the culprit to some noise as well. Kind of tough to narrow down even with a stethoscope. Think I'll probably end up rebearing it anyway, not really that expensive, just a pain.

yeah definitely. i don't have the tools to set up my own gears (hopefully someday), so i bring the pumpkin to a pro shop that specializes in gears. i will post up what they say. i got about 35k out of this setup, so overall i'm pretty happy
Car looks great man.Went to a Cars and Coffee this morning. On the way home stopped at Coronado Beach and grabbed a few pics.
Which car Chris? When I pulled mine to do the FRPP cover my cams were already marked. I actually left the axles attached to the hub. Used extra stands to support them.
