Oh. I forgot the ford shackle set up is diffrent. I was thinking it was set up like they are in the rear of my jeep. Yea I'm not real sure the angle affects your set up.

Every fullsize truck manufacturer has used a tension shackle setup on the rear since the 70s. Not Ford specific and not a new idea...
My 56 chevy 3/4 ton has it. I think it was pretty revolutionary starting in the 1955 chevy trucks.
I lost count as to which transmission I'm on.

Sucks. What keeps failing?
Those transmissions are Karl
Intermediate shaft keeps breaking but it shifts weird sometimes. Its dumb because there's several people with ford reman transmissions and 500hp. Once you fix a few factory problems they typically hold up fine.

Take the rice off. To much power:flipoff2:
That's sucks that the damn trans won't play nice with the rest of the truck.
The rice can't come off with the injectors I have but I have very conservative tunes written and my truck probably makes just a little bit more power than a stock truck tuned.
Is it fixed?
Nope. I'm not even sure they've had a chance to look at it. They were super busy on Friday when I dropped it off. I'm going to call at 5 to see what they have done so far.
Oliver Brothers called and said it's another broken intermediate shaft. It will be back together Friday, but they said they don't know why this is happening. They told me when they rebuilt it the first time, the clutches in the direct drum or whatever the intermediate shaft goes into were more worn than the rest. Not sure where to go from here. I think it has something to do either with the pcm or the valve body because they are the only old things left from before the rebuild. I think I will put a bts valve body in it and hope that's the problem.
Maybe Oliver Brothers are doing a good job and my truck really just makes 800 hp. Maybe.
Maybe from all the towing you do.
