Thanks white knuckle. I have been watching the thread at least it strayed in the direction it did I was going to ask about the arb but now that's answered as well. I am prety hard on tje 4 wheel so I had better look at an upgrade. A buddy just ordered a yukon locker for his 01 1500 so mabe I will see how ot works for him and try it. Its not looking loke my truck will be running too soon anyhow

 

What about the powertrax are they any good amd will they work with the lsd carrier?

 

I think they make a version that will fit the LSD case... would have to check with them though to be sure. For the price though, would still be a LOT cheaper to rebuild what's in there now.

 

what's wrong with your truck? I never like to hear about rams not running but mines taking a break as well lol

 

I just bought it it runs snd drives but only kinda and I had to use the money for registration to pay the er. I want it to be working proper or close to it before I drive it too much

 

What's "kinda" mean? Splain lucy, Something may need to be fixed now , before you have more expensive probs down the line.

 

if your diff ever does go bad, it is actually cheaper to get a new posi unit than it is to get new parts and the rebuild.

New Auburn 4.10 posi on my truck was:
$530 for the posi (AUB 54270)
$198 for labor
--------------
$728 total

It was cheaper than a rebuild to fix crappy backlash. Warranty covered it but that was on the invoice.

 

I'm really confused now, does the 798 include gears? And what is a "posilock"? I thought it was a cable system

 

Kinda means its good enough for most people but I want it running good and safe enough that I'm not worried about puring my kid on it and going on a trip. Some of the noises the trans makes makes me nervous since I don't want to screw the trans up its parked until I got the money to fix it right. Thought I would check the rest out while waiting on parts to fix the trans. So that's kinda I can drive ot but don't.

 

So far the list of needs fixed are:
rear main seal
U joints
clutch kit
Fluids
Check lsd
Headliner
Cat converter
I bought the truck a few weeks ago for $200 so I figure I can throw a bit of money at it and be ahead. The biggest problem is I turn wrenches all day and don't want to when I get home. Bit I will get this truck going
