  1. everyone must have missed the part about his break pedal going to the floor in the first post... i know he found the problem by why instantly jump to the expensive things ( trans, and rear end ) when he clearly stated his brakes went to the floor with little effort. that easly throws out that it is a problem with the brakes or something around them ( wheel cylinders, bad calipers, stuck brake shoes ect ) or in this case a bad spindle.

  2. i have used both, i usually find myself using more heat with flux core then i do with mig wire. its much harder to get a flux core weld to look nice. and when your doing body panels you spread the tacks apart. so you could only do so many before you would need to clean the flux off of the steel. think of flux core welding as arc welding.. but with a wire rather then a rod.

  3. if your forking out money for a welder, do it once ad do it right. spend the money on something good, if you only plan on body work then get a 110v unit.. if yoru going to be doing anything thicker then 1/4| get a 220v/ or if you have a 220v plug i would just get the 220v anyways..

    also fluxcore welding seems to burn hotter then mig welding, so it wouldent be the best for doing body work.

  4. the we have buss bars upfront and in the bed on the batteries, the way we have it wired went as so

    3+ runs from front buss bars to the rear, 3 runs OFF the alts ( one from each ) into the rear, a power run off each alt, to the front buss bar. for a total of 6 or so runs of positive into the rear, 4 or 5 ground runs from buss bar to the batts. then engine grounds, and front buss bar grounds to the frame. and then grounded the batts in the rear to the frame also.

  5. get ready for shitty, and rough ride!!! and to go threw balljoints and tie rod ends left and right.

    Not completely true if you do it correctly.

    Yes, if you do it like all the kids do and crank the bolt all the way in with the new keys it will ride like a donkey.

    BUT

    If you just allow the key to raise the front and don't crank on the bolt just because there is thread left it wont.

    You reach a point where you gain nothing and your ride goes to shit.

    My ride is damn close to stock.

    Best thing I did after I added keys was to put on some Bilstein 5100's. :good:

    usually it rides like shit, putting keys on is basically like cranking them with the stock keys.

  6. put the car either on a jack or on something level and have the car in neutral and spin the drive shaft if the car moves then its tranny related.. if you have to go to the trans.. easiest thing is to unhook the battery and let it reset and then try again. if not cheak the speed sensor which would be near the back of the trans. pull it out clean it and try again.. if not check the governor which is under like a round press on cover.. pull that off and see if anything is broken if all looks good throw it back on and try again. if it still doesn't work. way to go you fucked up your buddy's car!!!
