Does Ford themselves cast the housings? I suspect not but do not know. Reason I ask is if there was enough interest wonder if we couldn’t get an iron housing cast. It’s not always as easy as that, but sometimes it is if you know the right people. Geoff may?
Fair enough... I was always the anomaly not breaking parts while wheeling a "stick" (Millennial anti theft device) in the rocks. However, knowing your gear and it's limitations has always been the key. Blew peoples minds that not only did i wheel a stick, I sold it at over 140k miles on...
Speed in and of itself doesn't break properly cooled and lubricated machinery as a rule. As I'm sure you know, shock load/misalignment/or loading the back side of gears can and do. I thought that was what we were talking about. Not speed.
Our motto was "wheel it on Sunday, drive it to work on Monday...". Not because you had to (not that was a problem), but you were "good enough" you could! I wheeled a 6 spd FJ and broke twice in 10 years. 1 was an aftermarket CV, the other was a ring and pinon at 4 years and 11 months on a...
Pretty sure thatJeepguy's post was not directed AT your use or experience downforce. I 1000% share his feelings and experience having spent a significant amount of time crawling IFS vehicles. I'd say across many platforms it is not wise to heavily load when stuck, MUCH less in reverse. However...
LOTS of different types of powder coat... some oxidize next to immediately, others last forever. It's a legit question. You work look s great, but it's quality that is going to get your through all the red tape.
It's not a 15 min job... if you are there, and have any real miles on the engine, why would you NOT use better parts? Ford didn't up date the shit in later generations for the hell of it. Why do you change brake pads and rotors together. Yes they are consumables, but also have worn in as a...
