My search for a shorty D100 is over

-
Wasn’t looking to buy anything, just checking out the truck.

You might even swing by me once you’re done, Barona is only 14 miles from the house!
Been through the lights at barona many times. And with Irwindale gone, that’s kinda our home track now. Sad, I miss Irwindale already.
 
Got a little done the last few days after work. Last night was heater hoses, a radiator recovery tank, some throttle return springs, coil mounted, and I started on some wiring. My trans controller from ETrans control says it’s shipped and that’s a big piece of the puzzle still missing.
Last Saturday I muscled the 46RE on and off my chest one too many times (**** those things are heavy) and gave up trying so yesterday I bought a proper transmission jack. Hopefully this Saturday the trans can go in the truck for good and I can start on the crossmember and exhaust. Getting close.

Running the 46RE !! Awesome, once up n going keep us updated. Really interested in that controller and how well it works. I was checking it out and almost went that route before I found an RH. My setup is running well but its always good to know of other options. At 1950rpm I'm flying down the road at 85mph... my next endeavor is a suregrip and a 3.90 gear set. but I'm waffling now on the 3.90 or a 3.73. if I do the meth on spicers calculator I can run the 3.90 at 80mph and be around 2200-2500rpm..

Yea I’m kinda the test dummy for this deal and I can’t find any first hand accounts of someone using it. My problem was I already had the 46re built by a very good trans builder years ago with instructions to make it indestructible at any cost and this is the only way I’ll be able to use it. We’ll see, and I’ll definitely post how it goes here, good or bad.
