I'm that worry about it. Just a simple mistake. I'm gonna call them and see what I can do.

Plus I have already started with the burn outs.

Gear oil!

Is there a break in gear oil out there?

I know there is a break in motor oil which made me think that there might be a break in gear oil as well.

What weight?

I forget what weight gear oil to use and how much I'm going to need to fill both diffs up. I was going to grade some royal purple from pepboys.

I hope everything goes good with the install. I'm almost in fear of getting a phone call saying you truck needs more work.

Its going to be a long 1k before I can let it rip. Dad is going to be doing the break in for the most part he drive a lot farther for work than I do. Hell I only start my truck 4 days a week lol.

Wish me luck.

I'd go with Royal Purple Break in fluid. See if you local Auto Zone, Napa, or what ever parts store you have in town has anything good.

Good news on the gear front.

Also some more good news my mpg's are up. I was at 9.2-9.7 now I'm at 10.14 (with a burn out or 2). This tank was a split tank of gas. I still had the 3.55's in there for the begging the 2nd take will tell that tail if the mpgs go up or not.

I would recemond this mod to any one. The mpgs speak for it alone and the power is great.
