Does anyone know what the part numbers are for the front CV shafts of a Typhoon? Also, does anyone know if the shafts are the same for a S-15 4x4 CV shaft?

I am running big torque numbers and consequently I am blowing out the inner joints of the front CV shafts, this is where they mount to the front diff. I am not running slicks on all four corners, so I am wondering if anyone else is running into this problem. Do you know of a race axle for this...

I suppose you are right loerider, these guys wouldn't even give me my time slip!

Yes, I will need c-clip eliminators as well, but aren't there some SFI CV shafts available, these idiots are all over me!

Here is my dilemma. As of now, my truck is only certified to run 12 and slower. If I cage it and install a 5 point harness, a fire suit, S.F.I. balancer and flex plate, tranny jacket and race axles, I can legally run 10's. However I am not aware of race axles for the front CV shafts. Does...

Mkid, sorry to hear about your engine failure, that just plain sucks, never mind costs! You say that your engine oil pressure dropped,... I am guessing you took out your main bearings for one of several reasons. There is a way of providing better oil delivery to your mains, which might be one...

Hey rock; I will see what I can do about the pics. My hard drive went on me and I have to send it away for data recovery and then warrantee will give me a new hard drive. In the mean time I have a loaner and I have been hesitant to upload all the devices for just a motnh only to do it all over...

RS25, my guess is that the wide tires up front cause your ride to wander. I have torque steer but it is always to the left. If it steers to the right, my guess would be the CV shafts.

dgoodhue and everyone. My goodness, I leave this site for a day, and when I come back, I have 30 minutes of reading on just this one thread. First of all allow me to say that I am glad that this thread is what seems to be a none hostile thread. I for one do not want to praise my truck over a...

b good hue I understand your need to know my costs to date, however if my wife ever happened to read this forum, I would be dead.

Hey guys, chill out; No harm intended nor was I slamming the Typhoon model trucks. I think they look exotic, have a sweet engine, and the awd makes the package. If I owned one, I would probably not even modify the stock set up because I would want to keep it all original. I was impressed with...

I hardly think that a typhoon can be compared to some rare and exotic vehicle just because only 4700 were ever made! Typhoons are just a step up from the 4.3 N/A equipped Vortec engines which brag 200 h.p and these trucks float around at a dime a dozen. If you want hp, there is no substitution...

I made my own dumps. I have them spring loaded so that I can keep my hands free. They open at any rpm you desire by merely adjusting the spring tension. When a designated amount of back pressure accumulates, they open up simultaneously. I also have a torque tube installed about 18 inches...

Hey doomdead and Nick; Actually if the check valve is broken, it would allow the vacuum within the booster to escape into the intake as soon as you shut off the vehicle! I do not own a typhoon so I am only guessing that there might actually be two valves, one to allow for vacuum at normal rpm...

If you have vacuum brakes, my guess is that your brake booster has a leak in it. You can check this by disconnecting the main vacuum line that enters the booster. Two ways of doing this. One, after the vehicle has sat for 10 minutes, disconnect the line and if you hear a major rush of air...

Myself, I have BFG drag radials and a few years ago I pulled a 1.60 and front tires in the air! The key with them is not to warm them up a lot!

Actually thanks for pointing that out. Obviously I have developed a bad habit over the last few months. I looked at some of my work, and sure enough, somewhere I started using exclamation marks instead of periods.

What are you talking about, Daron?

Well the following week the vette I was up against which has a 420 ci with a 350 shot nitrous ran a 9.34 @147 mph. Apparently he turned up the wick by a 100 shot. He never got his slip either cause he isn’t qualified to go 9's. He only got to play once. We play on the deserted streets and...

I have an S-15 Jimmy, in which I installed an AWD unit into. I added Typhoon seats and mags and it came with 4.10 gears! I installed a sbc 400 c.i motor naturally aspirated. I have 2" primaries with dual 3" exhaust! Since those numbers I have added nitrous! Two weeks after those runs I took...
