crap on a crutch. i have to know how this turns out. if you start it, you had better finish it :)

well, i couldnt find it on summitracing.com ... so ill guess ill check randy's ring and pinion? fairly priced i hope.

and... where can i get a ring and pinion installation kit? i googled, and the best i could find was something called a mini installation kit. Differential Mini Installation Kit Chrysler 8.25" $31.95 C8.25IK Carrier & Pinion Shims, Pinion Nut & Seal, Cursh Sleeve, Marking Compound, Brush...

well turds. thats what i thought i had linked. i shoulda checked it. oh well. yes, its nice to be back talking. hows it going coyote jack. sometimes stuff starts happening and i have big gaps in my participation on the forum. but i always bring my questions and comments up. that reminds me...

right right, i thought it was the carrier. ok, i did find a nice lsd unit from summit. well, that certainly changes my outlook on changing the rear. so... anybody got an old 8.25 carrier? heh. so.. how about...

5.25 bolt pattern? im interested in this myself. whats the boltpattern? 5x5.25? or what? where can you find rims for those also, i like the look of my stamped steel rims (factory :) ) with beauty rings. my 2.45s are killing me, and 3.55 is what im shooting for.

i have an 8.25 rear end in my valiant, but i want, scratch that, NEED new gears. i understand that i have to get a whole new piece to swap higher gears because of the machining to put 2.45 gears in it. i would just buy a new chunk, but i cant swap just the center of my rear as it only has a...

904.

wow.

that article about the tremec 5 speed conversion mentioned this... let me see where it is. they said it used some kind of roller bearing and the kit could be used with any motor (auto or manual crank that is) without machine work... im pretty sure it was what dgc333 just said about the truck...

mmmMMMmmmm, chili. gahhhahhahahhahhhhhghghghghh

i know some chili makes serious rear end noise..

oh, im sure it has a 904, but why would they denote it in the broadcast sheet as a torqueflite transmission if it were just a generic ol 904?

time to google this turnpike pkg. where's the info on torqueflites? im curious if i got a nicer stronger tranny, or just the generic.

well, im not sure if theyre part of the package, but that would make sense... i think i read somewhere that in 75 on the 'nicer' valiants they gave them a lower/higher whichever you call it gear to improve mileage. OR it could be part of the weirdo emissions/mileage too...

are all of the mopar automatics classified as 'torqueflite' ? i was going over the broadcast sheet for my car and deduced that it has a 'torqueflite' (not sure which one though, prolly 904). but, i also confirmed that it has a 2.45:1 rear end, thus, i cant change the gears without a new 3rd...

:( confirmed D55 = 2.45:1.. D34 = torqueflite transmission :) D82 = 8.25/8.36 (SEE!!) E44: 318-2 D34: torqueflite trans A07: turnpike pkg L31: HD/fender mount turn signal L73: seatbelt light J52: inside(car) hood release H51: single air w/heater M15: up door front moldings (?)...

i got the build sheet from my car and looked it over, under "axle" it just says "3 1 6" im not exactly sure what this means. ill have to look it up later on, my lady wants me to go lay down with her while she takes a nap. :shrug:

oh, ok, i know what you mean. i was refering to getting a whole axle, but i didnt bother to think about the track width. but a 3rd member only would work for me. so, pre-97? ok.

cant say that i do... but i will look for you.

nice. now give me a few days or however long it will take me to figure out the details on my rear end. thanks.

what do you want for them, let me know, and ill find out the details about the rear in my car and we'll see what will happen. cool?

coyote jack, id love it, but im not sure about my rear end right now, it may be of the wrong variety to have gear swap. let me look into it, i may buy them from you, if you can give me a pretty good gaurantee that the chip wont leave me stranded somewhere ... :)

son of a *****. ok, what if... i get a LSD 8.25 from a newer dakota? :) im not planning on being a hella hot rod anytime soon, so when i have the money to build up a nice 340/360 or whatever, ill probably have the money for a rear end too :) i think what ill do is use a 318, rebuild it, do...

USED?!

where would be a good place for me to price rear ends? entire axle setups/housing and 3rd member separately? what width is proper for an a body axle?

im telling you guys, its an 8 1/4, and if that was an option, my car has it. ill go find the build sheet for it and look it over again.

it bubbles out like the second one and it doesnt have a drain plug, and is really round looking. see, the 7.25 has 9 bolts in it and the 8.25 has 10.

it looks JUST like this

it MIGHT, but i really doubt it, just from looking at it... im gonna figure it out. it wouldnt surprise me a bit if it is a 8.25 because my car is one of the supposed 'super deluxe models.' after finding the build sheet, it had pretty much every option offered for that year+model.. its weird..
