I think I breathed and ingested more dust than my truck has on it! Enjoy your clean truck this weekend, rains tomorrow!

hes drives the truck really really hard. plus its a dodge. Its got about 45* of backlash in the rear end. This new axle is almost brand new, and basically bullet proof up to about 600 horses

yea hes got maybe 325 to the wheels.

we got the axle bolted in and the truck back on the ground, still need to figure out the driveshaft, and a few odds and ends. But the bulk of the work is done now, after about 8 hours

weather is nice, beer is cold.

it wouldnt take that long normally to do just a straight axle swap, but this is the equivalent of putting a superduty axle in an F150. You have to completely refabricate and rethink the suspension
