DrLeadFoot Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Why the odd input flange? From the builder: I started with a circa 2001 z3m unit as its the newest for cosmetics; z3m just happens to use a round 4 bolt instead of square.Bmw uses both 4 bolt in round and square; 0 difference really; round is just newer like 1997+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I kind of figured it would be something like that.Not a big deal at all. Just curious!Edit: I find it amusing that cosmetics come into play when selecting a case. I get it, because I always try to make my diffs look good, but it is under the car lol. I get it, but still find it amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I called them and left a message. What time are you guys going? I have a late lunch with my parents and fiancée at 2:30 downtown Milwaukee. I could do it of I leave by 1:00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_love_cars Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 seems legit. Pat scheduled us for 10 a.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Like Jordan said, we're at 10am and a 3rd car will be there at 11:15 so I imagine they could get you on at 12pm. Apparently I have a wedding to go to that I told my wife we weren't going to attend since we don't know the people. I did not win that battle but I found out after I scheduled the appointment and told her I am not cancelling and if we're going to the stupid wedding then she can come with me to the dyno so I don't have to drive home to pick her up. I don't know if you can tell but I was a little angry about this lol. i_love_cars and DrLeadFoot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Well this was a huge PITA.Broke off two pins of the TRM turbo chip thingy.Kudos to Snap for helping me out!!!I had an extra ECU that I grabbed from a junk yard back when Kummrow thought my harmonic damper problem was an ECU problem... But that $90 for the ECU came in handy because we used the wire holding the tag on to solder up the TRM chip!Now all is right in the world and she is running like champ! A little break up still but not as bad as before. I'm scheduled the 18th for some dyno pulls at Late Model Throttle in Waukesha, WI to get a better look at what is going on then I'll have TRM send me a better tune.

DrLeadFoot Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm more excited to have it not break up! 3rd gear gets shot up like Tony Montana but 4th and 5th are better. 4th bucks but hauls on the freeway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Still breaking up. 2nd works well cuz she slaps the rpms like, well you know. When it goes through the rpms meticulously she breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Was nice seeing you today. Glad the car is back on the road. A new tune and the diff will make a huge difference =) DrLeadFoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Das diff has arrived. Spent the afternoon replacing the 2001 cherokee's alternator, serpentine belt and battery. Oil and coolant change as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
