I am interested in buying a cold duck t-case, for those of you with one already, how do you like it? Any problems? I have a t-18 so the d20/203 is out of the question as far as I know anyway.. I think the cold duck would be the best buy for the money, what do you think?

Hey I put one in last year and love it "now"!! putting it in was a pain 2 of the adaptor holes were off no biggie. i've got a c4 with 4:11's I'm switching to 4:88's but if you do alot of highway stick to 4:11's. the only real annoying thing is judging shifter play so it doesn't pop out, once thats done it works like a charm.
A $1200 charm.
but hey FOOD OR PARTS .
HOW MUCH DO YOU REALY NEED 3 MEALS A DAY!!

i wanted one for a while, but i was convinced that taking away like 6-8 more inches of my rear drive shaft was just not a good idea if you lifted tall and have a lot of rear flex

well I have decent flex, with the f-150 spring hangers from B&T, and the f-150 springs, but I just moved my axle back 6 inches so when I get the cold duck my driveline will be the same as before, hopefully anyway.

Why do people still use f150 coils? That's what we used to do to get a cheap 2" lift. There are several coils on the market that are supposedly better (softer/flexier). Not trying to be a SA, just want to understand. I see B&T does this a lot-I want to know the advantage. Maybe this should be a new thread...

at first i thought that the short driveshaft would be a prob.
I was out at wild horses and looked at one there.
i'm running 5.5" lift and it's not bad in off camber spot's and in rock's or ramp's she handles like a dream

I did not use f150 coils, I have wildhorse coils. I used F-150 rear springs and the spring hangers that Mike from B&T sells.

well actually, I just finished welding the hangers back tonight, the bronco is down to the frame, waitng for the cold duck, so I do not know if I like the axle there or not, but I think that I will!

It's a dual D20 setup that Gershom Litts on the east coast makes. The price is $1400.00 without a core or $1225.00 with a core. The kit comes with everything you need to install it including your choice of a manual shifter or cable shifter. The twin stick for the stock case is extra. Don't know how long yet-got a email to Gershom to find out. This is the way I'm going-if I grenade the output shaft I'll upgrade to the new WH HD output.

Hey EG68.
good luck let us know how it works out.

arokcrwlr.
i was talking to a guy at highangle drivline last night.
did u look at that e break?
when you us it you have to switch to the hd output shaft.
when you do that you can use the 32 deg. 1350 cv drive shaft.

Yes, I have seen the ebrake setup from highangle. Very nice and I will do that as funds become avaiable or when I grenade the stock output. Which ever comes first :D
