    No worries at all. I assume that volunteers keep the forum running and I appreciate the efforts, even if everything doesn't go perfectly. Fact is, I wouldn't be doing this without the support of this forum, so I contribute what I can as content and happily $'s support it as well. I didn't...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I believe Brandon has a 1078 A0. Look up Lostchain on the forum. He has posted feedback and some videos following his conversion. I have a 1088A1 with a big box on it which had highway gears already in it and I love what the ECO hubs have done. I've got about 400 miles on them so far, about...
