Im being serious, helf of these guys posting threads dont tell the whole story, they go to the doctor and dont want to admit whats wrong but want a solution. If he would have come clean in the first place, we would all say, well its an ex cab so what do you want for $1500?

How can I sit on the sideline when these guys run up the ball and are begging for a crunching tackle. Also im like a jungle cat, nobody can get me with a spear tackle. Ill show you guys a clean pair of heels

thanks for Generalizing mate but first of all you aint no doctor and second when did i hesitate to admit whats wrong???
what i wanted to do was now roughly where the problem is because if its the diff im wanting to install a new 3.7 lsd and if it was the gear box i was goin to do a manual conversion.
since you want the whole story hear it is, i woke up in the morning i got dressed started the car and when i was taking off the car was revving a little high for the speed it was travelling. then i put the foot down to see if anything was wrong and the car didnt go as hard as usual. checked the engine bay everythin fine now hear i am asking any one if they have had similer problems and why its doing it

flaring revs you mean, auto low on fluid. usually a full trans service will fix it.
It also could mean a number of things, map sensor vacuum hose leaking.

EB V8 LS1 gets hammered by a worked ex-cab EA inline 6 at the lights nearly every day, hence... the frustrations with 6 cylinder EA's.
