How noisy is the detroit?

It's getting a little off topic but I'm thinking about options for my ford 8.8

You can beat a Detroit. Top quality.

I ran the same front elocker for a bunch of years. No issues.

Other than the issues, I just dont care for it. Even an ARB is the same.
Either great manners and NO traction, or great traction and HORRIBLE manners that will push you out around everything. Nothing worse than a spooled up front axle. NO turning radius and very hard on steering components.

Just my .02.

I mainly only used the front for when I was really needing over something. Most of the time it stayed unlocked.
Steering shouldn't be much of an issue with the ram assist. It'll be hard on the joints. I'll likely end up switching to heims.

Got the front elocker wired in. Still works.
Started getting the wiring bundled up and secured.

We need more pics, Rix!

[Rix86]

It's still gross. LoL
No dash to hide wires behind.

So this is going to happen



I got the rear shackle hangers on.
They're not currently loaded. Loaded angle is about 30 degrees. Close enough.





And mounted the intake tube

Got both shock reservoir mounted.
Got hydro assist mounted



Instrument cluster is mostly wired. Fuel gauge is kaput :(

[Rix86]

Got the instrument cluster wiring done (fuel gauge is still kaput, stepper motor is done)

Great progress Rix!

Still watching. Living vicariously.

I run stock toyota 4.10s. Low pinion rear, high pinion front.
Its the only thing that lasts if you drive like a tard.

I will pass this piece of information on to two of my sons.

Gauges stuck back in


If the OEM cluster dies, I may put the stuff that was in it, back in it.

[Rix86]

Got the oil pressure gauge plumbed in, and the charcoal canister mounted.
Not much picture worthy
