Yea thats true, every time I hit the throttle in it I just pray the 10 bolt holds up so I dont have to call AAA and find another car to drive.

yeah i have no patience either especially when time is running out to race.

and funny part about blowing up my 10 bolt is that its been my posi all 3 times? you would think i would have sheded 410's before the posi would fail but just goes to show that they can't hold the power haha

to everyone... sorry about any lack of info or anything else... we had a computer blackout last tuesday that has got us in a real bind. i am in the works of a complete new system and updates to everything related. i have not been able to access internet, my shipping accounts, or anything else since then. i will have everything back up and running on monday the 13th from the shop again. i will do my best to update everyone who has asked about shipping dates and order status. i am hoping to be able to recover all the lost data and pics. i will reply to all pm's sent in the last week, also. thanks for understanding and being patient!

Have been putting mine in over the weekend, getting to the final bits for tomorrows task and then should be rolling.

For those that have installed a MidWest, where did you set the front mount (long torque arm)?? I have it in the bottom hole...but how is ground clearance and what would be difference one way vs. another..also what about adjusting it at the back of the torque arm what did you do ?

Has anyone actually hooked up and made an ABS system work or am I a pioneer on this, and the only one doing it??

I put mine in this weekend too. We started 2nd hole up on the front of the torque arm and I think the same on the LCA's and started with a base of about -3* on the pinion angle. We have a couple of issues to work through but after the first 2 drives I am very pleased. Momentarily hit it twice at halfway through 1st gear and the new suspension we installed at the same time hooks lightyears better than stock, wow, even with the 4.30's.
