I called about the DANA 44 kit and it will not work on the vehicross 12 bolt. No other ratio's are available that would make a difference. 4.10 only but would be of little benefit for mpg. Thus ends my quest....

There are some options for the rear...4.77 which are rare and hard to find (a pair is for sale now on planetisuzoo.com) and 5.38's from Indy 4x. No 5.38 for the front 10 bolt though...unless you do a SAS with a Waggy D44.

Yes, that is exactly what everyone was trying to tell you originally, and having replaced both my diff's in my garage myself I would have told you this and saved you some time, but I didn't feel you had respected the VX family here, and quite frankly I didn't appreciate your calling out some of our most respected and loyal members, many here consider each other brothers, and you don't mess with someone's brother and make many friends. I hope you can redeem yourself now that you see how tight of a group we are here.

Well - he did sow the seed -

And reaped his just reward IMHO.

I guess that if there was any semblance of an apology for his rant(s), we could take him under our wing and nurse him through.

Now for the spell check - hmm, looks awlrite.:thumbup::thumbup:

I've been waiting for this...he CERTAINLY had it coming and deserved it. But frankly the consideration and continued helpful attempts by forum members to contribute to his questions was truly amazing and speaks to the maturity of this group. More often than not, a person who presents himself like this on a forum is flamed relentlessly. Personally I hope he benefits from the whole experience and can become a constructive contributor in the future.

I was thinkin ...

Wouldn't a 'lectric fan conversion net him .001% mpg increase??? Rumor has it that the butt dyno indicates significant throttle response increases.

Sorry Zeus - it had to be said.:)

I can't think of a single facet of life where improvement can't be made.

But as a group, I think amazing restraint was shown...:yesgray:

Speaking only for myself, I had at least two replies composed, that never made it to the forums, before the toned down final draft was posted.

Ain't none of us perect...OR saints...:angel:

Besides...I wanted to feel important...:smilewink
