    Clutch Problems

    Hey guys, I have an 85 dodge d100 (yeah, not an abody, sorry). Its a 225 with a 833OD. The other day i went to start it and noticed the clutch pedal felt like it had little resistance. When i went to start it it bucked on me like the clutch was still engaged. I went to take it out of gear...

    Engine trouble- Plummeting oil pressure

    So I took my demon out today to pick up my kid. I had just pulled up to the garage to park it when I noticed it was idling really low, about 500rpm or so almost stalling out. The engine was making some not good noises and the oil pressure had dropped to almost zero. I pulled in and parked it...

    I just got these ubolts from espo. They are supposed to be for an 8.74 but they dont fit my shock plates and seem a bit large for my axle housing. I'm not missing something here am i?

    Need some leaf spring advice

    I need to replace my leaf springs on my 72 Demon because the have ceased springing. I have an 8 3/4 rear with SBP axles and stock 14 inch wheels. I plan on doing a BBP swap in the future and getting some larger tires. I was wondering if at this point it would be a good idea to just go ahead...

    Passenger side axle not going in all the way

    I recently had an 8 3/4 clutch type rear end built for my demon. I got it home and put it in and the drivers side axle went in fine but the passenger side wont, it seems like it is hitting something that is stopping it before it comes into contact with the thrust block. Even with the adjuster...

    Quick and dumb driveshaft question

    So I forgot to pay attention when I pulled my driveshaft. I don't remember if the small end goes toward the transmission or the rear. It's a 3-speed with a 8 3/4 rear of that makes any difference.

    U-Joint ID question and recommendations

    I'm getting work done on my 8 3/4 so i figured while i am waiting i would replace my U-joints and clean up my driveshaft. I am pretty sure it has a 7260 on the rear (USA 934 is whats stamped on it) and i think the front is a 7260 (Detroit 072625) stamped on it. Does this sound right? Does...

    741 Pinion yoke question

    I have a 741 that has a 10 spline pinion in it. If i order a new ring and pinion that is a 29 spline will it fit in the case? I am pretty sure the answer is yes but i would rather double check first. I know i will need to replace the yoke. I am hoping that the 741 that i am about to pull out...

    Rear brakes still locking up

    Ok, ill try to make this short. I have an 8 3/4 SBP rear end in my 72 Demon. It was an 318 3-speed but i don't know if the rear was swapped in or original. The rear drums are 10 inch and i replaced the wheel cylinders because the old ones were shot. Now i can't get them to stop locking up...

    Distributor Swap Question

    I've got a kind of dumb question that i think i already know the answer to so here it goes. I just picked up a distributor from TrailBeast and was planning on swapping it tonight. My old one is electronic as is the new one. I plan on popping the cap with the wires still attached and pulling...

    Rear Brakes locking up

    Took my 72 Demon out for a trip to the gas station and to do a little shakedown today. Brakes seemed fine at lower speeds but once i needed to slow down faster the rear brakes locked up on me pretty easily. It has drums on all four corners. I checked the parking brake (which works great by...

    72 Demon playing the juice harp and brake light misery

    So i have a couple of problems, probably not related but both electrical. The first is that my dash seems to be playing the juice harp every minute or so. I get a metallic "thung" that seems to be coming from the wiper switch. If its not it is close by, i can feel it strongly when i'm...
