I need to try and find me a machine shop to have them turn one of my Borgeson couplers for me. Need it to be opened up about 4mm
Wild guess. Your coupler isn't splined?

Just happened but I might be able to pick up a new Torsen differential for $179. Not something on my radar but may be now. It's for 34 spline axles which doesn't bother me. A spider gear swap kit seems to be no issue. It's listed to also require a Super 8.8 Ring and Pinion gear set. Anyone know exactly what the "super" means and will they work in our 8.8 housings? Is the Super 8.8 requirement about the car the diff was for and our gears will be fine or is it more, involving a fitment issue?

I was curious too, so I contacted For Racing. Hopefully this helps:

Yes, the Super 8.8 is what they call the IRS 2015 and Up Mustang 8.8. It has larger pinion bearing and pinion shaft

Oh, so will it fit into a standard 8.8 diff? It's intended to go into a 2000 F150.

HD version if you will. I should say any 8.8 2015 up, the truck also has the Super 8.8

No, they dont interchange between 14 and down and 15 up

white89gt
OK, then that is good to know. Thank you so much for your time.

Oh well. Thanks once again White.

EDIT: Apparently it was a leftover from the 2017, FP350S, 50 car program which explained the price..

NP. I just went to order some new Cobalt drill bits, and Milwaukee is running this deal right now on HD's site. If you guys are in the market for anything Milwaukee (bits, blades, etc.). Just got 20 bucks off their bits. Their drill bits are really good for the price. I drilled the stud out of my header collector like it was butter.

This used to be my commute... I've thought for years that these horses could escape too easily.





Ohio, I got these bits. I have the smaller set that was about 40 dollars. They have been really good bits.

EDIT: This is what I already have... and I have not had a bit break or go dull on me yet. I have actually lost a couple of them.... I used them in my basement, and they got misplaced or swept up somehow.

Milwaukee makes some awesome tools for making holes and accessories. Can't really call them all drills. There's a plumbing wholesale supplier in town and the entire front wall of the building from the door to the counter is nothing but Milwaukee's tools for their drills. Unfortunately a business or municipal tax number is needed to shop there. Two things I'd never seen are annular drills and taps for metal used on there big and small impact drills. That was the first I'd heard of impact drills for metal let alone taps for an impact drill. IIRC the taps of different threads went up to over 2". Annular drills are like a combination drill bit and hole saws. Big, hollow drills for drilling holes in plate fast. Milwaukee is all they sell in power tools and accessories and they sell a lot of it.

I have a feeling that this is going to hit the national news, if it hasn't already. I'm not too sure what I think about this, but I do know that if I was Collin Raye, I would steer clear away from this thing. The owner of the ranch is posting that the show is still on.

TOOELE, Utah (ABC4 News)- Leaders in Tooele County have stepped in to stop a concert planned this weekend.

The concert, sponsored by Utah Business Revival, was originally scheduled in Kaysville at Barnes Park with the support of Mayor Katie Witt, but city council members and health officials stepped in and threatened to cut power to the park the power to the park and pursue criminal charges to anyone who attends.

In response, Utah Business Revival announced the concert will instead be at the Studio Ranch Amphitheater in Grantsville.

On Wednesday the Tooele County Health Officer, the Tooele County Board of Health, and the Tooele County Commission issued an official notice of closure to the owner of The Amphitheater at Studio Ranch.

“This event falls under the definition of a Temporary Mass Gathering,” the Public Health Order stated. “[The event] pose an imminent health hazard at this stage of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Under the current guidance of the state, gatherings mass gatherings of this size are not allowed.

If the owner doesn’t not comply, he could face criminal charges.

Health officials say their goal in issuing this order is to protect the health of the community.

UBR said the concert was started with the intent of reviving Utah’s small businesses. They planned on having free booths available for businesses during the concert.

No word from the group on their next plan.
