SSplaytoy Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 You could always try duct tape That stuff is great for everything!!! Ever think about putting a 9" back there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4.8t Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 9" is too much work and would take more power to turn, not to mention its a ford part. 14bolt from a new model escalade will bolt in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its a ford part but I have had awesome luck with them, and gear changes are super easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmahan Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 wow man thats some serious torque to be breaking stuff best bet is 14 bolt or you could do a dana 60 lol :jester: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00chev Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Gotta hijack for a second... My truck is 4x4 as well, how well do these things run in 4x4 vs. 2wd? Is it OK to run it in 4x4 past 60-70mph? And are you able to take it out of 4x4 after launch?

4.8t Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 stock 4x4 has went as fast as 10's in the quarter mile. most just leave it engaged because when its under torque its known to not disengage anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00chev Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hm... 10s huh... OK thats GREAT to know lol. Although im SURE it wouldnt hurt to beef up the rear in these things anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although im SURE it wouldnt hurt to beef up the rear in these things anyway. look up parish on youtube and streetfire. he went as fast as 10.01 i believe. hell he ran 10.9's with the stock g80. his friend blew that up on the street in 2wd. here is a new idea for me. found out not only does 4wheelparts dot com offer a lifetime warranty on the tru-trac they offer it on their aftermarket axle's. its 10% the cost of the part. so for $7** i can get a tru-trac and superior axles with a lifetime warranty. if you break it all you have to pay for is the warranty on the new part. so break and axle its like $15 if that and if you break the tru-trac its $40. not too bad. then install a new (bent) pan hard bar and fit a girdle in there. then fix the front end and put the nv149 t-case back in and call it good. that should handle good....right?

Sounds like a good money saving idea to me I haven't seen updates on Parish in awhile. He never got that blue beast into the 9's with the boost and spray? I know he put down over 1k hp awhile back.

4.8t Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 kinda what i was thinking. he sold the ole silverado. he cracked a sleeve in the motor which is why he kept popping head gaskets. since then he and his crew built a 5.3 turbo fairmount that went easy 9's and all kinda of other things.

F1SSS Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hummer now offers a front locking differential on their H3T, just some food for thought if you go back to awd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4.8t Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 different front end all together. i looked it up ones. and theirs is cast iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4.8t Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 so how much more power does it take to drop a 60ft in awd vs 2wd? or is it more of traction? watching my runs where i didn't break things and i thought i was hooking, i can see the rear tire turn over one or two good times before hooking hard and launching.

TYMBOM Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I can't really answer your question, but, I can tell you that every single one of my runs was in 4x4. It is still the stock transfer case but I did get the internals cryo treated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
