All true. Except now that i got home its under light exceleration too.

On edit: it seems to be lighter in 1&2 and the worst in 3rd. 4th and OD nothing. That's under light exceleration.

On edit #2: It was barely there before. While trying out the new tranny Brian gave me permission to give her hell. That was the first time it had ever seen ALMOST 100% power. Didn't start shimmying bad till I left leadhill.

Brake drum???? Its 4 wheel disc. All superduties are.

I don't know. Y'all toss out some more ideas. I'll check it all tomorrow morning after I get the trac bars on.

If it does end up being the trans (which I highly doubt), he'll be here for the Race 4 The Warriors June 4th. He can see what it feels like then.




Back at it again in the morn.

You don't have trac bars I'm guessing?

250/200's are gonna cause some wrap. Wrap is bad for the pinion bearings and ujoints.

If you lug it down to third gear speads in OD will it vibrate?

Here's a thought...we have a spare axle with the same gears sitting in your yard........just need to torch it out from under the other truck

I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this. Wanna add it to the list for tomorrow? LOL
