Yepp

My wish list is sorta taking priority over my future list haha

 

with all the money you would spend on the future list, you could get the supercharger!

 

yeah i ocassionally search for superchargers and have passed on them. dont have the funds just yet

 

If you want to know what all is involved with a gear swap, I think I remember someone writing a "how to" on in here.

something like. "Gear swap write up" something something............lol

 

yeah pretty sure i've seen that in somewhere here theres a truckz episode or something on it as well

 

off to 4wheelparts i go

 

See post #1

 

TPMS light is on! LOL no sensors in the new wheels huh!
Looks good, wish I had new gears!

 

great news! i bet you will really be able to notice them when you punch it once they break in.

 

Yeah the tpms light is on
Another on my to do list

Another note, definitely doesn't shift anywhere near as much, where it would be locked in overdrive and id give it some gas, it would downshift to 3rd and go, now it's just pulling in fourth, definitely some power to it.

Mileage is great so far, gryphon is indicating 16mpg average but I'll figure out real figures once I fill up. Got about 110 miles on the gears, no whine, runs smooth and truck feels great.

Only downside right now is the revs are running at 2200rpm and you can really hear the truck, I think a 22" muffler will be in the works soon to quiet things down some and make it sane whilst on long trips.

Also, noticing the truck is having to slow itself down with the revs/slight engine braking whilst going downhill, watched my cruise go from 75-72 when I reached the bottom of a hill, never done that before but I could feel the motor slowing the truck because of the rpms/momentum/traveling downhill. Whatever it is, not a big deal but something I noticed.

Will update when available!

 

Well well, the diff is leaking fluid, its a constant drip and leaves hand sized wet patch after sitting for about 6 hours. I think the mechanic either over or under torque the bolts. Last night it leaked a little less than a square foot of fluid and I only noticed this morning when I got off of work. Any suggestions? Not scheduled to go back into 4wheelparts until 10am monday and I have to drive to work and back again and then to the store monday to get it checked, don't want to overheat and ruin the gears on their part.

 

did you try tightening the bolts? check the fluid level too, depending on how much you have lost.

 

not yet ill do it in a few minutes and see if it stops and top off the fluids

 

I have stopped a slow leak by just tightening the bolts before!, check the level and add some gear oil to get you buy till your service!

 

Yeah i used a mallet to diff cover because it was bent a little and its definitely slowed the leak, looks like some sealer didnt properly seal between two bolts on the diff. tightened them down a little and now its ALMOST not leaking lol

10am tomorrow it goes back in
