    Today I dropped the rear bumper, valance, gas tank and the rear axle. The plan is to replace the spring bushings and go back with a 60" wide 8.8, 3.73LS, 31 spline, disc brake axle. This will let me run my 17x9 Cobra R wheels with no spacers.

    IS it over filled. Do you have the right dipstick? Also are you using a cooler built into the rad. Maybe the cooler in the rad is bad? Any trans fluid under your rad cap when you open it?
