cause my dd has made a noise since i got it... when i let off the gas it makes the noise and if i press out the clutch it stops... kinda a grind howl....

BUT i just pulled a really nice open 4.10 from the trail rig that i can swap in...since its a new truck im gonna try and give it BIG T s special lube service lol... might be a rear drive shaft but i doubt it

Thats not what mine had, it made the noise regardless, as long if it was moving, in gear or not!

Right now i have 31" bfg At's, When i put my lift on i think i am going to remount the bfg's on new rims, and wheel them till they are toast.

I would like to try the 33 X 12.50 trxus mt's next!

Good luck, you will like it. It will have a few highway driving quirks,maybe not as bad in a runner as it was in the jeep. The only thing i had was at interstate speeds when you let of the gas and sorta coasted , it unlocks and you can kinda feel it no big deal. Im thinkin if getting one until i get a e-locker or air locker.

Yikes! On the 4.56's? I'll bet a dollar you hate it. Once you're locked you might re-think how much more you need. I'd suggest sliders and Budbuilt skids first, then see how far you can go!!

One Dollar?

I already plan on some sliders, haven't really looked into the budbuilt's.

Got the locker put in. I think its nice! Not too noticible on street at all.

Clicks a lot, but big deal, tires squeek sometimes but then you know its working!

Really easy to control in my opinion.

The guy who installed it said it had 3 extra springs. Yes he followed the directions and put one inside the other. but three extras for some reason.

Overall, it is easy to control, if you are steady around corners it is fine acts like open, but if you accelerate from stoplight turns, it will lock up and chirp or scrub the tires.

I like it!
