    Well there must be a hole in one of the wires leaking volts. Look for a puddle of volts under the car & trace back to the leak. ;)

    The 308 axel angle is about half of the angle as the picture. I would think it would depend on how the spider gears are riding in the hub. If you have an old axel you could pull the boot back and set it at that angle to see where the spider gears are riding. As long as they are not riding on the edge it should be ok. Also maybe reach out to the axel manufacturer to see if they specify a max angel. Last thought. Look at the angle the 4x4 crowd run.

    This is going to be a classic Minidave build with innovative solutions and great attention to details.

    LOL. don’t feel bad. About 3 days ago I was fixing the water pipe on the back of the refrigerator. I tore the house and garage aperture trying to find the hose I ordered. My wife walks in and says isn’t that it on top of the fridge?

    here’s my sign:D

    Whew! 5* out there today.....no shop work till it warms up a bit, supposed to hit 40 on Sunday, then back into the freezer with temps in the single digits.

    Canada - shut the damn door!

    If’n I had control over who delivered packages to me in the winter I’d choose anybody over FedEx. We have a 300 foot driveway with a huge turn around area that I keep plowed so you can see the gravel but FedEx stops at the end and tosses whatever is being delivered 8-10 feet from the road and then goes on their merry way.

    500 teamsters on strike in Iowa.....these guys drive the mail semi trucks you see out on the highway.....sounds like stuff is really going to stack up now!

    I have no issues with either my Fed Ex, UPS or even DHL drivers.
