HI!... You must of hooked it up wrong. I've been running a PLASMA BOOSTER for about 5 years now with no problems at all. Even picked up about 6 RWH.P on the dyno.

Yes, because if it works for Neal it must work for everyone or they did something wrong.. So I must have done something wrong because I'm on my 4th or 5th moog idler arm but they work fine for him...

HI!... EXACTLY!!!!! The same reason why everything is still stock on the front end of my 7 year old truck except for the idler arm. My MOOG one works great! LOL!

Neal, where are you going to get your trans parts? Baumann Engineering is about the best place I have heard of. All they specialize in is Ford trans. You may want to check them out. www.baumannengineering.com

Moog is the suspension parts that I use also. They are garaunteed for life. If they ever go bad you can just exchange them for new ones at no cost! Can't beat that!

HI!... I wouldn't let B/E build a trans on a R/C car IMO. I've dealt with them in the past and it cost me a intermediate shaft in a brand new 4R70-W. GREG there is an idiot.......................

HI!... We can argue all day about this, but 99% of the MOOG parts I have run have done their purpose perfectly. My current MOOG idler arm has over 25,000KMS on it and is still in NEW condition. It all depends on what your truck is used for. I notice the 4X4 crowd seems to wear out front suspension/steering components alot faster than the sport truck guys do.

Neal where/who are you getting your trans parts from?

My last set of lower ball joints lasted about 40k miles (almost three years) but I also ran some heavy 35" tires and offroad frequently. Since it only takes me about 1/2 hour to change out each side, it doesn't bother me. All the other moog parts that I have installed are still the first ones.
