I can tell you right now that I was never afraid of heights.. I can go full boom on the bucket truck (like 60 feet) and I have no problems.. But going 40 feet on a wooden pole that shakes like a muther when the wind is full force on you is kinda the point for me. To tell you the truth, I'm more comfortable in the wind than in dead wind.. Figure that..

No I'll be interested. Well unless it's cheaper for me to get the parts here in cali, but I doubt it.

Well then let's talk business, when you free up that housing.

I know the feeling, I cut out once and fell coming down. Not fun--instinct is to grab the pole and hug.... Not the best for chest splinters and you will still fall anyways. I work for the phone company.

No doubt.. ill get in touch when i get her up and going..
At least when you hug it, it slows you down enough to get them back in.. I think putting tools in it and moving crap around is what did it.. I'm going to switch the tool pouch back to the side I had it on and see if that's better..

Actually, the ds I'm hoping to get - at least temporarily - is going to be a direct fit. If that falls through, then I'll get one from a junk yard, and send it off to DSS.
As far as the housing, what I will have is a stock 8.0" with LSD installed. This swap should take someone all of a couple hours for someone with a gen 1. Pull one axle shaft, disconnect driveshaft from diff, disconnect dif from brace, remove diff, reverse for installing the new one. No tearing apart the pumpkin. Just add fluid. I did use the motorcraft additive.

Did you ever price one from dss? Would it be shortening it and adding the appropriate flange and of course a rebalance.. shouldn't be that much..

I thought that was the price..
