using sand paper on chrome = a large amount of rust in near future bad idea....I was told you should use choirboy....when used right they dont scratch the chrome all up and dull the finish (but it has to be a certian type and I cant remember which....steel wool works too it you scrub lightly but its easy to scratch chrome with it..
Choirboy?
Eh. I don't know. It may be a little bit faded but I'm not that concerned. It only takes 2 minutes to take that piece off so I could do it some other day when its warmer anyway.
Went out a bit ago and checked the front brakes (they were starting to squeak). I was pretty sure they were fine, and all seems well. There's a ton of pad left..I cleaned them off some, maybe that will get rid of the squeak.
I've just started hearing a "clunk" when I begin to brake, as well as when I am at a complete stop and let off the brake. I checked the driveshaft and the U-joints seem in good shape..extremely little play in them (not to mention my truck was inspected about 1500 miles ago, so I would imagine they would be ok anyway)..Anybody have any ideas?

got a price on a posi front and rear with 4.10 gears. $1,850 w/bearings and seals for front and rear, $400 for install for both front and rear.
then got quoted on 4.10 gears alone, $250(R&P) $125(bearings and seals) for the rear, $225(R&P), $110(bearings and seals) around $700 for the install of front and rear.
Sound a little pricey, or about right?
I also thought about getting a front and rear axle from a off road edition ram, and getting new bearings and seals installed on them. What do you guys think?

I've been thinking about grabbing the 4:10 axle out of the SS/T or Indy Rams that are in my junkyard. Then having the front axle re-built because I need new seals anyway.
