Yeah its getting really sucky.

I went to pick up a horse last week in socal and paid 3.779 had to put 44 gallons in the F250. For a total of $166..
And on the way down between Mojave and Palmdale i had a tire let go on the left rear of the horse trailer. Just had to happen when it was getting dark too. So i waited for a while and finally got a tow truck out there to beat the fender back into submission since it had been knocked into the way of teh tire. The dude got that done, got the spare on and we figured out why my trailer running lights weren't working.. Was just a broken wire that was shorting out.

Ended up getting 4 new tires the next day. And pops will be getting a new fender pretty soon.

Anyways, about the horse... Supposedly he was supposed to be free. I guess theres no such thing as a free horse. :mad:

Looks like you didn't get it free, and you didn't get it now. Wait...wrong thread.

Oh, top honors moved to another Chevron at 4.199 yesterday. Never thought I'd think the 3.899 I paid up in Lodi was a bargain. I got just under 10gpm running at about 24500-25000lb heading up north. I don't even want to think what it would have been with the 460. 13.6 coming home empty.

Look what I just bought yesterday. I sold the old trailer in two days.

It's the Wildcat 31QBSB.

Any of you Ford or truck guys able to decipher the tab on my differential? Drivers side says: Synth 5W30 only. I've got that one. The passenger side tab has two sets of numbers and letters. Across the top is: 5 409 H
The bottom has the first digit under the bolt but it appears to be a S or a B or something with a loop at the bottom. The rest of the lower line is: L73 10 5 1D24

I'm trying to find out my gear ratio and was told it would be on the tab. My silly ass can't find anything gear related on there at all. Was hoping to find 3.55 so that I could put in 3.73 and cure my towing ills that I've been experiencing.
Thanks for your help.

Ace,

The 3L73 means limited slip 3.73:1. 10 5 means ring gear diameter of 10.5. The S409H is a sterling axle.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what it means.

Thank you sir, just what I was looking for. Of course that puts me back at square one because we were hoping to do a gear swap and gain a little towing power. Now I have to find where the real problem lies.
Thanks

Price is inversely proportional to the distance to a refinery.

Yesterday I drove my PSD to a youth board seminar in the bay area. Unfortunately a guy back in to the back of it and hit the l/r corner of the bed Damaged the corner, light and bumper However, when you look at his mini van the read door (or hatch) was literally obliterated there was glass for 20 feet Tomorrow I get to deal with his insurance company When he first apporached me and said he back in to the PSD, I asked if he had only hit the ball Unfortunately he said NO!
