Hey airhead... what kind of limited slip diff do you have? It doesn't look like the Trac-Lok.

It might be a Sure-Grip, but I thought they switched to the Trac-Lok before your year. I could be wrong though. I was just curious.

Just out of curiosity, you did add limited slip friction additive during your oil change, right?

FINALLY got the truck out of the garage under its own power.
Didn't really get a chance (yet) to drive it around my yard, since it's pouring rain randomly.

Still need to piece everything back together (front bumper and grille still off, need to install permanent trans fluid lines, bleed the brakes, install the e-brake stuff, install the sway bar, etc.)
So, as soon as I get back from this deployment, she should be road-worthy.

And, I've got a question: what is the distance from ground to the bottom of the rear diff?

Default Exhausted

Well this is my first time replying to a thread on this site, so here goes. This morning I went out to my buddy's house to help him finish my new duals with electric cutouts. Looks sweet, now its just gotta get welded up and then back on the truck just in time to finish her up for the show, and open exhaust cruise at Lane Automotive in Michigan.
