Don't get in situations where you have to back up? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) Yeah.... if it was just a dead battery I'd be going that route..... beleive it or not I subscribed to the "park on a hill" theory for extended periods of time back when the expense of batteries got in the way of speed parts but that was many years ago and at the time I lived in TX so it felt natural. Unfortunately now I have a 6k lb + tow vehicle that is not easy to roll around so this is a little shaky. Local shop is suggesting a place called John Weiss in San Carlos in case anyone has heard of them or has any other suggestions. Thx, Eric |

I use Pete's Gear Shop in Hayward.
They have been doing my transmissions and rear ends for the race cars for years....he is good, and will work with you....I recommend them highly. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) Thanks for the suggestion. I actually hit up a local shop this AM (and of course checked the thread when I got home) so I'm going to give these guys a whirl. I will have to hit up Pete's next time I blow up a 10 bolt. Good to know of a good diff shop you can trust. Thx! |

Hey Randy, after replacing the broken tranny (which had lost reverse) in my tow vehicle, found out my rear end had some bearing issues (bad whining/grinding). I took your suggestion to go to Pete's this time. Great shop, great service, good people, reasonably priced, etc. Really appreciate the suggestion! For anyone else in the bay area that needs rear ends set up, would definitely suggest Pets's in Hayward. |
