Picked up my truck yesterday after getting the new gears installed. Haven't driven it much since, but I can definitely tell a huge difference in the feel of the truck. I picked it up late because we were at the UH game, but afterwards I went and filled up with 92 octane and installed the 92 performce tune in my truck. I could certainly feel more power as the truck seemed to lurch off the line when I pushed the gas pedal instead of just trying to get up to speed with the stock gears. I will give a more detailed report once I actually get the truck out on the road, but it's hard out ehre because the speed limits are so low even on the highways.

 

SWEET!

Did you replace the differental cover?

 

Yep, I'll go out and get a pic of it. I should have known better then to post something in here without a pic to post.

 

Here ya go, ask and ye shall receive.

 

I think that is the first aftermarket rear differental cover I've seen that isn't a Mag hytec.

BTW What are you doing for the break in period?

 

Looks awesome!! Glad to hear that the gears turned out good!!

 

I spoke to the shop owner who did the install and he said just take it easy for the first 500 miles. Drive a little then let it cool down. Even though he said that he said there wasn't much I had to worry about no matter how I drove it. He said I shouldn't have to worry about changing the gear oil after 500 miles, but I think I'm going to do it anyways. It's going to take me about a month, if not more, to do 500 miles though.

 

Congrats on the new gears and cover

 

Can you spin your tires off the line with them? If you have limited slip I would still think not but maybe if its conventional. Im just curious... You probably havnt even stepped on it have you? In fear of blowing them up. But I bet those gears turn 35s very nicly. Now we just need a video!!

 

sweet job on the gears/cover...wanna know how it drives once you get on it though...and x2 to a video...
