This hasnt been my week AT ALL!!! Yesterday both of my headlights went... no biggy i fixed it today. Ive been fighting with my girlfriend a whole lot this week..... and this, this tops it all...... read on

Since i brought my car back out since lettin it sit all winter i noticed a lil knock in the rear when i give it gas, and its been gettin worse eversince, well today it happened......... :banghead: pulled out from my house stomped on it and all i heard was a loud bang and my car just coasted to a stop, got it off the road and went to see what happned looked under the car didnt notice anything then i got back in the car went to put it in gear it just grinded and i got my dad to look under it while it was in gear well the shaft was just spining under there.... ****** blew the rear... How could this week get any worse?

So i went in my house called the dealer because i still have warranty on it, thank god i spent the few extra bucks and got the extended base warranty... so i called him explained it all to them and within an hour a roll back pulled up to my house and took it away.. While i was on the phone i requested 4.11 gears while they are doin it.. This sucks really bad, thank god for the warranty i only have to pay a 50 dollar deductable....
Back to drivin my bronco.....

wow...bad news...good news...then bad news. that sucks that the rear blew...but thats good theyre gonna fix it...but then thats bad that you want 4.11s. get 3.42s or even 3.73s...anything but 4.11s. on a V6 your gas mileage is gonna suck, and you wont be able to go over 70 mph.

yeah, the 4.11s seem a little much for the car. That sux that it happens, but considering you only have to pay $50 it ain't too bad.

Sounds like you've had a craptacular week so far.

I'd recommend staying away from the 4.11s also....I have 3.73s in mine, and I like it.
