Aaron, it is a real temperature...it's just a real cold one.
Thanks Jim, I really really appreciate it. I owe you breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the rest of my life! Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving with the family. It was nice to chat with you as well.

hello ct. i put the 3.73's in the mustang and rebuilt the posi while i was in there this weekend. and today i found out that the front pinion bearing chewed itself up. it looked good when i had it apart, but it did require some excessive abuse to get the old pinion out so i am assuming i damaged it and missed it upon reassembly. it wouldnt be a huge ordeal except now i need to redo the pinion depth and backlash shimming after new bearings are installed. what a *****.
on another note, going from 3.27 to 3.73 really shortens up the gears and gives it some extra gogo. the rpms are singing at 75+ but maybe that will keep her under the 100mph threshold she lives above. once i get the rear working properly, i need to burn the sct chip for it and get the cams in. she is shopping for a beater car now, she wants to retire the mustang from daily driver.
miles what was the 4x4 issue?
