Put in the 4.56s and have the best of both worlds...

 

i need to get around to it...

 

Lazy slacker!! :whip:

But seriously, it's a straightforward swap... If your smart you will also install at least a rear locker while they are out... And I advise thuroughly cleaning them before install... Makes everything so much cleaner...

As a side note, while the front dif is out, replace the CV boots... More than likely they are original and more than likely they will tear while your swapping...

And DON'T fillthe front did with fluids before install... I did and I made the did heavier and wobbly...

Now get to it!!

 

In red: I plan on doing those.

The CV boots are new and only have about 15K on them. They are still very good but i will inspect them when i remove the front diff.

I DON'T plan on filling the front BEFORE I install them lol

 

swimmer did you swap gears once already or did I miss somthing

 

It's a swimmer thing. We swap gears all the time

 

I don't think this swimmer does stuff like that !!:
nono:

Haven't really been on much recently because i got a new job, started it Monday. I now repair welders, plasma cutters, wire feeders and the like. Great job!

 

Yadda, yadda, yadda.....Blah, wacka, blah-blah....... THERE, that much closer to 100 PAGES! hahaha.

Congrats on the new job. Now fix my plasma cutter

Thanks Mark!

Send it over to PA! lol is it a Hypertherm? They are SUPER easy to fix!

So my gas mileage has been garbage lately (between 17 - 18 mpgs)

 

Honestly, on the average, if you REALLY ask around outside of this site, etc..... That's not 'garbage' Mileage, Brian, ..it's really around what MOST of them get. I KNOW, you were getting like 23 or so, ....but NOW, you have 30's, not 28's, ...so when you register 18, it's really 19.5-20, ....no? I can't find that dang ratio table again, grrr! lol.

Anyway, I'm really going to have to find out if I can get more out of mine, too, brudda,....I'm not even getting that, ....with a new motor and only 31's. Yes, driving around here is MUCH different, ...but still, trust me, something aint right, lol.
