You can weld the frame, but it should be done by a skilled welder. It's my understanding that you have to drill at the ends of each crack to keep it from continuing to crack, then weld in between the two drill holes, but leave the holes open. Plus, you need something better than the little ****ty harbor freight welders that I have.

I'm at west palm beach service cooling down the gears then I'll be back on the road...

How's it feel, acceleration wise now? Probably a lot better than the 4.10's did.

It hasn't changed any in years. Still decent fishing and biking.

That's good. South Florida doesn't need more "change". Way too overdeveloped as it is.

Acceleration is nice, 1st gear isn't short like the 4.0 and 4.10s...
But I'm happy to have 5th gear back, around 52-54 mph and transmission is pushing to get shifted...but I didn't want to go over that due to overheating gears I'll wait till after my first 500 miles to push that 5th gear...
