So a few more things happened. Still waiting on a bunch of parts, but the truck is coming along. I found a fender, still need some more massaging to the valance panel on the front. The new to me fender must have been repainted at some point because the color is off. Sent from my iPhone...

That things done my friend. When stuff like that comes into the shop its a used engine or rebuild time. The diagnosis to pinpoint the issue itself is about half of the combined labor to install a new engine. Just get a used engine and re-seal and do the timing components while it’s out. Sounds...

Yes sir maintenance is key always. The higher RPM is probably easier on the drivetrain as a whole. When I move up to the 33’s it will definitely level out a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So just Incase anyone is wondering. A 4.90 gear set on a 30in tire means 3100 rpm at 65 mph haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You need to compress the ball joint. It’s tapered so when compressed the friction will keep it from spinning. Special tools are made for this purpose, but it can be figured out with a bit of witchcraft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for all the help, I have a new complete assembly coming from LKQ. You saved me a big ass headache. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That makes sense, I’ve never had one apart. Maybe I’m getting bad part # information. Thanks for the wisdom. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s the same part number so I’ll give it a shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One peace? The shaft that I’ve seen in the AWD diff unbolts at the CV just like the one in my truck. I’m still learning this rig, am I missing something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Need some help before I rip into the front of this thing. My front diff did not come with the inner axle on the right side. Will the original work with the AWD diff? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Open source my friend. I can tell you WORLDPAC is a big company and I grabbed up the last set they had. Uppers list out at $65, I payed $25. Lowers at $70, I payed $30. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Through my shop, a company called Worldpac. I don’t think they sell to the public. From what I understand 555 is the best option available. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s seen better days but I’ll clean it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would start with a thorough check of the wheel bearing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I now have 4.90 gears in the rear. The front axle should be arriving tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
