    Towing a 68 on car dolly

    I thought about doing just this,but I wondered if the wheels would still mount properly as I had never tried before.

    Towing a 68 on car dolly

    Yea, I would think this would be no problem, as long as reasonable speeds were maintained. People tow all sorts of vehicles all over the country behind RV's.

    Towing a 68 on car dolly

    Well the best I can figure is that the drum is coming in contact with the shoes on one side. Drum gets very hot, but I can wrap my hand around housing at outer bearing and not much heat. Going fast enough for long enough will heat the entire unit pretty good. All four corners got new shoes...

    Appreciate man. Sometime soon I got to get my Dart out of Churubusco, where I keep it at the family farm while I move The Ford just seems to go thru mountains of diesel, not to mention the cost of fuel.

    Towing a 68 on car dolly

    Yes, new clean Mopar oil with the Chrysler additive. Doesn't smell burnt after 300 miles, but rear end is hotter than it seems it should be. Drums too. I can still touch without burning myself, so maybe it is just me in a panic. It is 95 degrees here.

    What would be a reasonable speed, distance to tow a 68 Charger on a tow dolly. 8 3/4 sure grip, no engine, trans, or drive shaft. I seem to be having trouble with the differential running hot.

    904 torque converter questions

    I think TrailBeast is correct. You aren't wiggling the converter, you are wiggling the trans shaft because it has no support on one end.

    904 torque converter questions

    Once you bolt it to the flywheel I would think all that would end. Have these two parts operated together properly in the past?

    340 duster only good for a couple of burnouts.....

    Why not just check the trans fluid? Low? Burned? Contaminated?

    Does the Torque Converter heat engine while idling??

    It's all just a giant physics equation. Heat is generated by a number of things, and it is dissipated by a number of things(variables). IMO your car is operating well within the parameters established for it. If you just want to know why or want to learn, you will have to examine each...

    Ford 8.8 swap?

    I don't follow Ford much, so I don't know if or when they stopped using the 8.8. I am however fairly certain Moser is making new 8.8 housings.I guess there will be plenty to go around.

    Street Gear Poll

    I voted 3:91. With a 318 you might as well keep it out of the fours, and the 91 will be fun. I have one laying around here somewhere I want to put into my '74. I have run 396 Chevys with 4:56's and 4:88's. I literally had people yelling out the windows at me, telling me to shift. I would...

    Ticking Noise Coming From Transmission Driving Me Crazy

    So...does the flutter sound like it is air related, or maybe a fluid noise, or maybe even metalic in nature? It wouldn't surprise me if it had a loose plug.

    8 3/4 center sections

    One is heftier than the other. And with the 742 having higher ratio it just makes it compounded.

    Power steering fluid in the transmission

    I prefer to keep the different fluids in their proper components. They make them different colors so you know what is or is not leaking.

    oh boy...head broke off torque conveter bolt

    Now everyone breaks them for me. And just for fun, I wish my problems were this easy. Somewhere I lost an entire set of 1966 383 pistons and rods. Try starting your car with that problem.

    oh boy...head broke off torque conveter bolt

    This is true, but in his case it would probably work. A couple of broken easy outs way back and now I just refuse to break bolts.
