Default Re: Flat towing with no e-brake

Yep, went all over the place with a home built tow bar and home built hubs. Seems like I have a picture of my Vette with the tow bar on the ground in front of it.
I learned to pull the driveshaft before using the hubs. I also found out the 4.56 gear lasted longer than 5.13's and 5.38's when towing without hubs. I think those small pinions just whipped the oil away at highway speeds. Stopped breaking the rear gears when I built the hubs. We were "up town" when we got our first homebuilt trailer. Tip for flat towing: Slow down....
