BARRACUDA340S 05-28-2004, 05:08 PM Just pulled it out, I wacked the ring and pinion. The ring gear is wacked on 2 sides. Both pics are different. Then there's the pile af metal laying next to the hog nose.

THEWHITEZOMBIE 05-28-2004, 05:18 PM Thats fine id run it! :roll: man what the hell did ya do!
BARRACUDA340S 05-28-2004, 06:01 PM Nailed it in first then hit second, got some wheel hop and it was over!
71dart 05-28-2004, 06:15 PM Man you really made a mess of that thing!!!! Glad it didn't tear up anything else.
Mike
BARRACUDA340S 05-28-2004, 06:20 PM I tore up some other stuff too, ripped off part of my lower rocker molding with the tire. Shook the trunk loose and chipped all four corner's on the tailight housings. Now I have to repaint the trunk lid :roll: :roll: :roll:
I'm about fed up with this Hot Rodding stuff.
Tommorrow night I'm gonna cut off the old perches and change the pinion angle and weld a brace on the back of the axle to stiff'en it up. The wheel hop is what caused this problem. If this does not solve the problem then I'm screwed. I'll just have to run 40psi in the rear tires so they don't grab onto anything. :roll: :roll:
ProStreetFm3 05-28-2004, 10:32 PM HOLY CRAP!! When you wreck something you wreck it GOOD. Man that SUCKS.

HawaiiDuster 05-29-2004, 02:01 AM Like they say "if you're going to do something, do it right!" You really did a good job of breaking those gears. Man I love your car :D

OlDuster 05-31-2004, 05:07 PM What do you expect from a 7.25 diff. Now if you had a really big rear end like a 8.25, that would never happen. NOT! Can you say DANA?
THEWHITEZOMBIE 05-31-2004, 05:13 PM What do you expect from a 7.25 diff. Now if you had a really big rear end like a 8.25, that would never happen. NOT! Can you say DANA?DANA :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :P :P Brett Moser and Strange mack a great set up for us Mopar guys!my mom and dad are looking into them for there big blocks the guy befor us sold the rear end out of my moms Car hers came wit a 60 and that car flew! :P
Guitar Jones 05-31-2004, 06:17 PM That is the exact reason I took the 4 speed out of my car. I had two choices. Put an automatic in it or put a Dana in it. Since the Dana would have added weight to the car and I was trying to lose weight in the car it was a no brainer for me. The car lost over 100lbs with the 904 over the A-833, Lakewood bell housing and SFI steel flywheel and clutch. But if you gotta row then your gonna blow. Get a Dana in there.
BARRACUDA340S 05-31-2004, 08:40 PM I'm gonna keep the 8 3/4. I'll put better gear's in and billet caps. If she blows the I'll consider something else. This car won't see any more drag strips so I should be OK!
Marty 05-31-2004, 09:00 PM Come on Brett, Even if your not at the drags your not going to be able to keep your foot out of that monster, go with the DANA! :D :D
BARRACUDA340S 05-31-2004, 09:11 PM How hard is it to change gears in a DANA? I really like being able to swap out gear's real easy.
Marty 05-31-2004, 09:13 PM Really hard, you need all kinds of special tools, but it wont break. :wink:
THEWHITEZOMBIE 05-31-2004, 09:20 PM There hard but not that bad once u do it for the first time iv done it plenty of times in my dads dana 70 in his truck and the 60 on the front of my truck once u get used to it its a breez! :wink:
Guitar Jones 05-31-2004, 10:09 PM Why would you want to change gears? Once you have the combo down you shouldn't need to. Even with the auto in my car I've broken another 3 sets of gears, but at least two of them were my fault, with a four speed it's going to be super easy to screw up and then, well buy buy. :lol:
I got the aluminum carrier from MP for my 8 3/4 and it probably helps absorb some of the shock but still with that kind of torque and a four speed it's a lost cause. The shock loads are just to much for it.
BBLM23 05-31-2004, 10:09 PM How hard is it to change gears in a DANA? I really like being able to swap out gear's real easy.
Buy two DANAs!!! Swap out the whole DANA!
six pack 05-31-2004, 10:44 PM and the 60 on the front of my truck once u get used to it its a breez! :wink:
Have you changed this as the 1500's only have a Dana 44 up front ?
LAR_414 06-01-2004, 07:50 AM Yikes! Make sure you get those new gears set up right.
Remember two things for a long life with a 4spd. Get rid of the wheel hop! The slapping is much worse than you think.
And always power shift if your running it up on the rpms. That means, don't lift that gas peddal off the floor when shifting under a hard launch. When you "granny shift" you slap the power back and forth on the teeth in the tranny and rear end. Much more damaging than keeping the power on one side of the teeth.
Think of it this way. Take a glass and put a 40lbs weight on it. Now take a glass and put a 4lbs weight about a foot above it and drop it.
Which one will break the glass first?
