Do you have a carrier bearing in the drive shaft?
My first thoughts would be a carrier bearing or transmission problem.
3.55's and 38" tires would also be putting a strain on the U joints as well.
I just ran that 38" tires, 3.55 gears and E4OD through my spread sheet.
39 MPH in first gear at 3300 RPM
68 in second at 3300.
105 in third
148 in OD
That has to be putting some serious torque pressure in the driveline components.
I eat U joints with mine running 33" tires.
That E4OD tranny first gear ratio is very close to my second gear ratio.
My second is 2.41 to 1, your first is 2.71 to 1.

hey dave, are you using the microsoft word spreed sheet. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the formula for that or did you just make the formula yourself. If you have time can you run that e404 with a 4.10. If you would, that would be absolutly awsome!!!!!!!! Thanks

I use Lotus 123, which was the very first computer app I learned.
Wrote all the formulas myself.
I use it for everything that has numbers to keep track of.
To give you an idea of how long I have been running it, The first computer I ran it on had an 8088 processor running at 4.77 MgHtz., 385 K of ram and two 5.25" floppy disc drives with a 12" monochrome monitor.
State of the art back in the early 80's.
I am assuming 235/85-16 tires.
At 3300 RPM
1st 27.3 MPH
2nd 48.1 MPH
3rd 74.2 MPH
OD 104.5 MPH
At 2000 RPM
1st 16.6 MPH
2nd 29.2 MPH
3rd 44.9 MPH
OD 63.3 MPH

Awsome, Thats all I needed to varify that I had 4.10s and yes you got the tire size right, sorry I forgot it. Off the subjuct, That 4.77 mhz with the 8088 was my first tandy trs 80 computer and it only had 256k and I think the disk were the same space. Mine were the eariler disks that were like 8" and some inches looks just like the 5.25" disk only bigger.Also and green monitor and weighed about 100lbs. It never crashed like my new ones do. They were easier to operate and figure out, kinda like the old to new diesel Trucks. The new Trucks run great with lots of options, power and updates, but boy when they have a problem, well your kinda outa luck. Lots of studying, searching, swearing, dealer visits. Thats why I wanted the IDI. Now maby I can figure out the formula since I have a little info to go on. Thanks and Have a great day.

What program are you using?
I was always IBM machines, I have a museum that goes bach to the original IMB PC, a couple XT's, a 286, a 386, a 486, Pentium, P2, P3.
Right now I am still using a 3 gigHtz hyperthreading P4 dual CPU with 4 gigs RAM, and a terrabyte of hard disk space with a 21" LCD.
Far cry from what I started with.
I build my own computers, have been since the 386 machine.
