Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

What are you doing with the rear diff? Do you already have the rear gears?

 

I finished my 4wd conversion and my rear is already 4.10 and the guy who sold me the front diff said it was 4.10 also but i checked today and its 3.73 so im getting 4.10 to install in the front and call it good

 

I wouldn't trust them

 

Ahhh I didn't realize you were doing the conversion.

 

Yessir jshift tcase and manual hubs in a double cab

 

Just out of curiosity what did they end up doing to your truck i saw they messed it up and made it run like shit
Did you end up finding the problem?

 

Paul had used them a few times in the past. They installed gears/locker for him and built a custom cross member for his shocks relocation.

I haven't used them but you might try Pungo Offroad as well. Shouldn't be expensive since you are taking in a 3rd member.

 

True i know the guys that work and own pungo personally i may text them and ask
I just want someone who will do the best job haha dont wanna have to get it redone

 

I've met a bunch of folks that have had major work done by Pungo but they all had GM/FORD trucks with way more lift than the owners had brains. I imagine they could probably sort you out easily.

 

Yea ill call them and see
I just mainly wanna get it done and over with
Also spartan locker in ther front or save for fiberglass fendershmm

 

So you know the guys at Pungo personally... Yet are leery to let them do the gears.
Kinda says something don't you think?

 

Oh yea i know them personaly but i wouldnt trust them with my truck as far as i can throw em haha at least the guys i know that phisically work on the trucks

Then again i like to do or at least have a hand in all the work that gets done on my vehicles so that way i know its not just good enough

 

Any meet ups in the near future?

 

When you back in vb?

 

Typical ferd and gm owners

 

They did a bang up job on my shock relocation then tried to make me pay for the re-work

They did some good work on Paul's truck which is why I went there. Paul knows the owner though and I think he got some special attention.

Pungo f-ed Pauls truck when they used the air impact on his lock lug nuts. The one's that say in big letters DONT USE IMPACT on them. IIRC, they striped the nut and snapped a lug

Just get the 3rd's from ECGS and send back your core. Going to pay about the same price and get quality work done to boot.

Or just get a 4.88 3rd and trade for mine

 

Gotcha ill probably just do that
One question that yall may know seeing as ive emailed ecgs twice over the past wek and havnt heard from them
I have a non add front diff if i send them my diff will they send me the same kind back?

 

There are a few options. One, you get a premade dif and send back the core. I don't know if they do this with non add.

Second option, I believe you can send them you diff and they build it and send it back. Just going to have to be pre-runner for a while.

 

They could select and rebuild your diff in their sleep... Unusual for them to not respond, everytime I've ever called there I've gotten someone on the phone to answer all my questions and even make recommendations.

 

Yea, i figured it was out of the ordinary seeing as everyone reccommends them, no worries about being a prerunner for a while though, that would be my trucks natural habitat haha
