That was the third good storm that we had last week. Lots of whiz bangers and good light show with lightning...

Our creek didn't fill up much, so it wasn't too bad... We get a few rains a season where it will fill our creek halfway and make it flow like white water rapids...

Well ****!!!!!!! What next. I do have a slight vibration thru the car when cruising which from past experience is the u-joints. Guess I'll check the u-joints and the rear...

I don't have the new address, but I can get it...

 

[halifaxhops]

Karl can you send some my way? The rain silly.

 

[ScampMike]

I just PMed him - - I really hate to give it out without his permission so I will wait to hear from him

I had a worn out suregrip unit that clunked like you describe..

I rebuilt the suregrip prior to putting it in. Im pretty sure that is not the issue. If I remember correctly also, the lash for the gears was set on the tighter side

better the U's than the rear... does sound like them

When I had my driveshaft balanced I asked about the u-joints. They told me they couldnt balance a drive shaft with bad ujoints so mine were fine. But I've always wondered... When the shaft was out, they didnt feel like they had excessive play, but I'll check them over really good. Thanks guys!
