hmm, let's see. i wonder how things are different between NH and GA.
ga has little bitty brown deer. nh has moose. that'd be a plus for nh when hunting, a minus if you hit one with your truck.
nh has fancy beer. ga just drinks cheap**** pbr or natural or miller lite. taste vs dollars. tossup.
the only thing french we know of in ga is salad dressing or the upstairs maid in a good **** flick. oh wait, lets not go there. squirrels will come in with some of his weird texas ****. LOL
well, i guess i've really screwed up this thread.... sorry.

LOL! Just buy anything from the HELP section (buy anything for that matter)and it will have nine different languages on the label(nuff said about that subject). As far as moose go, one just walked across my backyard a couple weeks ago. What an awesome sight! Good thing 95Ram360 was not here,because I would shoot him before killing a beautiful animal like that. I'm not into hunting if you can't tell.

95ram is somewhere in your part of the country. according to his plan, they'll be at the end of a 100 mile dirt road, riding the roads, drinking beer, smoking dope, and hunting hard with his 308 for 11 days. you better keep the dog up, he might think its a moose. LOL.

y'all should invade quebec. kick their *** and make em learn english.

Add the ujoints in there too.... and call it a day. Inspect the sealing surface on the axle carefully. Hitting it with some fine grit sand paper/emery cloth would be a good plan. Also, while you have the axles out changing ujoints..... make sure there aren't any burrs and such on the splines for the CAD.

yea i was planning to to do the ujoint, i just forgot to mention it.

how exactly do you install the two bushings, im not quite clear on that?

will any defects on the sealing surface that are causing the leak be pretty blatent?

can i sand the burs on the splines too or what?
