    Dana 44 gear swap/use old bearings or my brand new Timkens?

    Interesting as my last set of Timkens M88048 state made in USA with imported content on the box. The Timkens were made differently than the National brand GARBAGE I bought local. The solid spacer for my 9inch hit the cage on the nationals but worked fine fine with the Timkens. I would stick...

    NV3550 Noise

    5-w30 is COMPLETELY wrong for ths nv3550. You want Mopar fluid (part number 04874464AA). Some have used Pennzoil Synchromesh with good results. I run Synchromesh in my M5ODR2 Tim

    Advance took the bearings back after a demonstration of what I contend to be a defect. They also took back the races. It's on a gift card :( but better than nothing. Tim

    Got the new bearings in this afternoon. A day late. Shipping time is now just a guestimate I guess. "A late UPS trailer arrival has delayed delivery. We're adjusting plans to deliver your package as quickly as possible." RIIIIIIGHT.......like they adjusted anything. Their so called...

    5 speed Transmission reccomendations

    The trick flow track max cam comes in 5 flavors. The smallest has an power band of 2000-5500 and that's the only one I would even consider using. Tim

    5 speed Transmission reccomendations

    I bet your 32' measure out at 31's. :) my 32's did. I run 4.11's with 33's and think its dead nut good to go with the M5odR2 and I suggest 4.11's with 33's but you could go 4.30's. With 35's you will need 4.56 or 4.88's. How's that 400hp 302 built? Torque cam or high rpm mustang cam? It...

    M5odr2 for the win.... well it was a win for me :) I fab'd my own crossmember but BC sells on if you can get them to answer the phone. Hydraulic clutch requires using speedo cable hole (enlarged) and drilling a new rod hole in clutch pedal. Driveshafts need modified. Rear shortened, front...

    Dirty Coolant on a New Build

    I run a 195 stat and it runs 210 95% of the time.....but when air temp is hot i.e summer and I'm towing my utility trailer around it can hit 220....my electric fan kicks on high at 220. It cools right off......I should also mention I use a mechanical gauge. So 220 is not hot per say as hot is...

    Thanks for the offer. 4 hours is a bit far. If I was still coaching softball I would just join a tournament in Shawnee. and come get them between games. :) Yes no instructions.....one side of the spacer IS tapered and does not contact the bearing cage. The other side is not tapered and...

    OK, so got an update on this situation. I'm not focused on what got me to the place where I have the third member out......Looking forward to getting it fixed. In a nutshell, CHINA F'd me hard......... I've spent hours examining every possible issue. TOO many scenarios to go through. Even...

    Yup....I've setup gears in the past so got the tools. I have to do a gear setup anyway after rebuilding the TL that's fubar this pinion support issue is kind of out of left field.......Just hate to buy the new support not knowing 100% it's the issue. I'll have to dig into my stash of cash I...

    Found the other pinion and it already had a bearing on it. Repeated the process.....some issue. Half the turn is tighter than the other half. To me it makes no sense at all. I also noticed that if I spin it over and over and over the whole thing tightens up. I hate to send $100 on a new...

    Oil slinger just arrived (thanks Amazon) so I ran out and quickly installed it. The bump bump bump is gone much smoother HOWEVER.......Preload is set to 25 inch pounds and it hold for 1/2 turn then jumps to 30 inch pounds for the second half of the turn then drops back to 25, Same thing...

    Hummmm I think have still got my 3.50 gears I took out of the Bronco. I could press the old bearing onto it and see what results I get. That should rule out the pinion as the cause? Heck I bet it has a bearing on it already. Tim

    So used a Sharpie as I can't locate my Prussian Blue. I've never done this on a pinion support before so there may be a dumb question coming up. Colored both races and let them dry. Assembled the pinion without the spacer and got 20 inch pounds of preload. Spun it a few times (with the bump...

    So just sitting here and my brain is on fire...... I know nothing about Daytona pinion supports. Making sure from above, Daytona supports would need these bearings National Brand Inner = HM89443 Outer = M88048 Timken # 88010-48 & 89410-44 Found Quick Performance has a Daytona pinion support...
