I've heard good and bad. I bet the bad is that Jake is just damned busy.

I can say that Jake personally helped me with my 80e build on the yellowbullet forums. That was very cool of him.

I just finished the install of an 80e from Jakes. So far, very happy with it.

Thanks for the input. I ended up going with FLT in the end. Just waiting on it to arrive.

I went by the trans shop to look at the carnage in my 60e. I should have taken some pictures, rear ring gear failed. All the clutches and bands were in perfect condition. Ring gear took out the 5 pinion planetary.
Transfer case is getting a rebuild to replace some worn bits so I guess it’s good it needed to come apart to install the new input from time2kill.

Just have have to get the rear driveshaft shortened and tuned after that.

Bought this for a daily while I wait.
