O2s have never been changed that I know of. Old intake had a crack so replaced with a Dorman. Maybe Derek will ship me his for a reasonable price...

You could have carbon build up on the O2 preventing it from getting an accurate reading. Or, another cracked intake or compromised gasket.

Charlie, So the advantage is being able to tear into the diff again? I hope I don't have to lol
What intake gaskets did you use?

I'm doing the eliminator when I install my gears. I don't mind being the guinea pig. Seems to be a no brainer to me. I'll also do a write up (with pics for [MENTION=146035]Jackedup00[/MENTION] because, well, because we know how he likes pics) to help anyone else who may want to tackle a project like this.

Yeah. But i was thinking I could mic out the old sleeve and get it pretty close on the first try. Worst case is the new bearings are a lil thicker or thinner & I'll have to add/remove a shim.

Nope. The best thing to do is get the gears installed correctly with right gear patterns. Use a crush sleeve to make sure you get the proper torque and preload on the pinion bearings. Once you get that far, just pull the yoke, and bearing and measure what size eliminator you need. You'd be surprised at how much .001" can throw out the correct preload and destroy a rear end.

Everyone in here should be able to relate to this.
