    Well, finally registered her and drove her for my first time...

    Thanks, and yeah, I crawled under her and bolts are tight and frame is straight and unbroken. Not sure why she bumps rhythmically at 25-35MPH. Ball joints are used up and tie rod ends are also used up and allow play. Shock bolts are tight BUT shocks are getting changed as part of my routine...

    Yeah, time delay response... As mentioned, there is a right rear axle rhythmic sound/bump/shudder at 25-35MPH. As Action suggested, it seems to smooth out and disappear at 40MPH. Drive-train seems ready/willing/able to go past 45MPH [but I restrained myself due to loose tie rod ends and ball...

    Been driving her and under 30 I'm ok but over thirty and on bumpy roads she is a bronking buck. I have yet to install the Centromatics.

    Been a while since we spoke. I hope all is well. I look forward to driving to the big easy to finally meet you some day soon! I bet you have the taller differential gearing. Either that or you're running 45" tires. LOL T

    You're only 18 hours away. Drive her here and we can fix 'em both. LOL. You AND all the guys online are welcome to visit me in Queens, NY. (Just not all at once... Parking might be an issue. 8-)) I gotta say the thing is a blast. Loud, oversized, and yet stops on a dime! Yeah, AWESOME to drive!

    I bought a slantback 'cause I want a slantback. Nothing more iconic than the slantback, except maybe a Conestoga wagon. There are remedies for the parkway, as mentioned above.

    In reply to ACTION: 1.....Why not fix the problem before swapping the trans. You may be fine with it working properly. Because I'm looking for overdrive. 2.....Have you had the tires balanced? They are in the process today. Still, I will buy the autoballancing devices. 3.....I don't want...

    [I've been away a while... New house and moving and building up my new office and such. My apologies.] 6.2 liter, M1025. 1987 Engine runs smoooooth (for a Diesel). Starts super quick and smooth at 50 degrees F. What a kick in the pants around town but SLOW to accelerate. I got a TESLA X P100D...
