right now, im open on either weekends
I plan on maybe pulling the center section one weekend, then re-installing the next. I am not in a hurry since I barely drive the car anyway.
Thanks. I am trying to figure it out now. I figure drop the center one Saturday and reiinstall the next or when we can. It can't take more than a few hours to drop the center section.
probably 3 hrs with taking time and screwing around...
if you want irs frame bushings or pig bushings, those need to be ordered
did you find a shop for the gears or do you want to crack it open?

I am going to take it to DTS for the gear install. That is the last thing I would want to screw up.

Society for the Promotion of Boomhauer: It's a way of life
Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is Boomhauer?
Boomhauer is an acquired condition caused, in part, by excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages. Boomhauer has not been studied, but it is thought to affect millions of people worldwide. Boomhauer results in difficulties interacting with non-Boomhauers, memory problems, delayed reaction skills, and a heightened sense of fun and invincibleness.
2) Is Boomhauer contagious?
Again, very little research has been conducted on Boomhauer. While not highly contagious, it does appear to be infectious.

I already have plans for May 2nd, but I am free for the other days.
i now have a job on the 8th... don't know what time yet but it will be late afternoon probably so i should be open in the morning
Sounds good. I still haven't decided yet on the date. I am thinking maybe a Saturday at noon on the 2nd incase problems arise.
Would Friday May 1st be better?
Secondly, Does anybody have a manual? That should have been my first question. I would hate to start the project and end up with a box of left over parts. A manual would have torqu specs and so forth.

I have set up a bunch of 8.8 gearsets. It's not a bad job if you take your time. A few tips: Use a Ford gearset if at all possible. I have had mixed luck with aftermarket sets. I had no luck with Motive gears(noisy) but good luck with Strange and Richmond. I've heard of some complaints with Richmond from others but the ones I did set up good and didn't give any trouble. The Ford sets have been the best. I have set up a bunch of rears with these and never had any problems. One other thing I have noticed is try and use the factory pinion shim wherever possible. It seems to give the best patterns with proper tooth contact. Also use a super shim pack when setting the backlash. These shims go on either side of the carrier bearings between the carrier and the housing. The cool thing about the super shims is you will never ever need a carrier shim again. These are like an oreo cookie in that they have a bunch of different size shims between 2 metal discs. By swapping the shims side by side you can adjust the backlash and preload infinitely. So if you change to another gearset later you won't need anything but the gear in most cases. Anyway, just a couple of tips.
