I hate snow. Yep. Hate.

It probably goes without saying by now but I'm bored.

Maybe you need a hobby.

Maybe you need a hobby.

You think?

[ChickNorris]

Go get that ammo waiting, say when & we can have a chat about hobbies.

I played in traffic this morning. That was pretty entertaining.

You suck Ray. You already went. Fooie

I do have a bag of heads arriving this evening, that should be good for at least an hour of entertainment...

Perhaps I missed what size tires you are running?

36" tire size (actual height)...One calculator said I needed a 5.27 with 4.88 on the high side torque/towing power. I need to find out where 7.3's rpm are at in E-350's in 3rd and OD w/E4OD, no tachs in those so I need the scanner to read it. On another chart, 4.88 at this size would be "closest to stock" result, and it recommends 5.29 as the torque/towing power. I've also heard that longer highway trips with gears like 4.88 are killers for the gears...get too hot...wtf?

I'll stick with standard stocked gear sets though, that special stuff gets pricey fast. I did reach out to the guys that rebuild our diffs to have him come by and see what I'm dealing with. Need a shaft made for one thing, and to help me make a decision whether to use the existing diff, or choose one of the others that I can use...and make it happen.

If I reuse existing dana 60 full floating, I'd like to find a disc brake conversion kit for it. I do have the option of using a single wheel dana 60 that is already disc, but it probably isn't as strong because it's not full float set up.

Then when I get that installed, I can send 'em the front and do it all over again. I'm still not convinced about spending money on the 44, and not just getting a 60 set up for it.
