    1'x1/4" ribeye. Salt/pepper 2.5 hours smoked with lump charcoal, hickory wood and then few minutes on the flame.

    Only 2 Old Mills, then water. Some of us are trucking in the AM Sir.

    Down the hatch.

    Apparently he put a new clutch in and no difference.

    I'm so confused none of it makes sense. In his thread from a few months back he suspected the shop "stole" his transmission during the first clutch job, which was when the issue started. Come to find it was actually the forward diff he was looking at? I dunno I punched the numbers into a road speed calculator based on 40" tall tires, 2.64 rear, 1500 RPM and the transmission ratios. The numbers I got didn't match. You know what did? 3.91 rears did.

    It's a mute point. He dont know what he has. So new clutch means nothing. Rear leak, miss adjusted new clutch. Crack cocaine, meth. He has zero clue.

    Did he surface the flywheel. And how wrecked are his rear diffs. Idk.

    Granted, I got a bit of a headache from reading that one too, but otherwise I really have no reason to take any action there.

    If the forward diff is suspect, all he needs to do is lock on the power inverter. If it binds up or grenades, it was the diff. No issues, the diff hasn’t been messed with.
