Sick truck 4X hemi, the side bold moulding with those flares and the chrome door bumpers really pull it together. Very well done. I have the SC 3815 on my motor, as well as a few performance upgrades. She runs awesome now. Really did open her up. How much did the 4:56's run ya front and rear installed? I think it's gunna cost a small fortune..

Well, I don't know what they might charge you in Colorado but, thats what I paid in the east for Yukon 4.56 gears and installation.

a lot of people (myself included) will add an aftermarket limited-slip diff while they're in there doing the gears to save on labor. Most mechanics dont charge any extra labor to put in the LSD. Detroit Tru-trac and Auburn LSD are the two most popular. My 4.56 front/rear and the Auburn LSD was something like $1600 installed if i remember right.

Thats what I did too. I had them install a Detroit Tru Trac when I did 4:56 gears. With everything it ran me about $1600 also.

Check with 4 wheel parts in Denver. Not too far from you. When I went there they quoted me $2100 and I told them I could get it done for less at another local 4x4 shop and they said they would beat anyone's price. So there fore They came down $500.

Excellent. How is the detroit true trac on pavement? No hopping or chirping?

I chose the Auburn cause it locks up faster and its $100 less.

I have the true trac with 4.56's and its a great setup. It's an automatic locker, so I acts like a open diff in a straight line and locker in turns. Once in a while if the ground is loose gravel/sand/dirt/etc. you'll hear a lil slipping, but in slippery stuff its great. And there's no adding of special LSD additives. I've had it in for 50k miles and it wears the tires very well. It's a great all around locker. I definitely recommend it.

Glad to hear the SC worked out for your truck. But I've got to say, get a CAI on that thing! Maybe even a hotter coil with those new MSD wires. The older magnum motors respond to those little ignition upgrades very well.
