while trying to take a look inside my '99 8.8 rear my oil-catch devise spilled everywhere causing oil to be all over garage. I sprayed it out the best i could with the hose? was this the right thing to do?
Also take a look at the gears inside they look pretty good to me
and now there is no oil inside the 8.8- is it okay to store it this way with barely any oil inside? or should i buy some more tomorrow? |

i believe just swaping axles will fix the abs problem (pita though to swap axles with abs) not sure on trac control... not sure how that works.

yeah i sold my dvd-in-dash today to this guy and hes a collison repair specialist who referred me to his friend to have the gears installed and axles and ****. hopefully 200 for everything - put up on my car... we'll have to see but nevertheless what times will my '03 auto be looking at with CAI, dual mach exhaust -h pipe, xcal v2, 3.73 richmond gears, 8.8 rear with tlok... trying to get a comparasion of stock auto '03 to my slightly modified automatic. |

i think i decided on 3.73 b/c if i go blown down the road i still want the top speed and also if i resell the rear end its probably easier to get rid of it with 3.73's than 4.10's- looking at buying richmond gears- any opinions? |
