Like a wise man once said "You gotta pay to play."

Gears, LSDs aren't that difficult. Alot of attention to detail yes, but not difficult. Now rebuilding a 545-RFE, is an entirely different story, lol.

Asking for help here is as easy as taking your wallet out. Welcome to DF.

Say hello to the mod bug.

And I gotta throw some new gears in my truck! 4.10's for sure.

Still workin on this freakin leveling kit. Passanger side went on fine. As for the driver side I am unable to get the bolt out of the lower a arm bushing. I am able to get the shock back under the tower but am unable to get the bolts to line up. I can get them within an 1/8th inch of lining up. Hopefully a little more persuasion and and extra set of hands will help.

umm.. Buy my bumper .. haha ... (a little self serving I know) but I am thinking about selling my truck now too .. and I know someone on here would appreciate my bumper more... and you would have to REALLY work at it to "beat up" on this bumper ... you can find it in the For Sale Forum...

Enjoy your truck .. make sure you keep us posted with some pictures
