Well have to figure out something.

Thanks guys - this solves another problem!!
btw, can we just swap the gears with the 3.56 ones there now? It has new bearings, brakes, and drums.

Skip, which is better? The soft grab of a functional limited slip, or the agressive lock provided by a locked rear end? Should we continue to look for a locker, or just stay with the limited slip that Tims rear already has?
I understand lockers can make the truck hard to turn when things are real greasy.

Sorry Tigger, I have to beg off this weekend. I have some medical stuff they are doing on Friday, and everyone went bug-eyed and crazy when I told them I would be out of town on Saturday. This same group tried to pull my driver's license last year - they would really flip out if they knew I intended to towbar a truck down 99.
As to the directional control in the mud - the one drag I attended was two long pits about a foot deep in mud. By the second heat there was a lane that was easier going, and some deep spots you could drive around.
I have never driven a mud racer, Nevrenufhp, so can not claim to be any sort of a expert. If you have and tell me that it is not important, I will accept that.

Okay Clint, that sounds like it will work out all the way around then, so let's plan it for next weekend instead.
Best not to **** off the docs...!
As for the locked front end, we could put a spool in it and if we don't like it we can run it with one hub unlocked...
