    Nah we all work together in the trade. When they get a Chrysler problem they need help with I help them out. The shops in our area where I work are really good for helping each other out. We all know each other and it works very well. Its nice to have shops that try to help each other instead of slinging mud at each other.

    Our '95 Mustang has 3.73's with a T5z, and weather you're ripping around town or cruising 90 down the interstate, it just seems absolutely perfect.

    Oooooh my god!! I just got off work and decided to take the maverick on the road and try it off the line... That was awesome! I floored it (nobody around for miles) and the tires started spinning, I crapped my pants, swung a little right, a little left, let off the gas some and took of like crazy!

    All I gotta say is wow, that's with 3.25!! Hey Bryant, when can we put in the 4.11??

    Now I am getting that same itch.
    I just want the 3.50 with posi.
    What do you say Bryant is that do-able with my stock 8 inch?
    I just want to change the internals. Just the guts. Not the axles.
    How much are we talking here? Does anyone know?

    I can't wait to get the gears in mine and especially some sort of locker/posi. I miss that the most about driving my truck with a detroit in the rear, romp it in a corner and it steps right out, and that was with a 4 banger. Of course, with the little pizza cutters i'm running for tires right now (only 15" wheels I had came in two flavors, ugly and really ugly) the highway fliers are enough to get em spinning a lot of the time.
