In stock tuning my axle wrap isn't that bad but as soon as I put my tuner on anything above stock and start driving it wrap is much more noticable. You'll see what were talking about as soon as you have more power

Yeah, cause when I watch the video that joey posted I didnt really see that much of twisting, a little hop but thats about it. I dont think I will be able to even make my tires spin since they are so big.

Where do you get the 5/16" tool to remove the plug? I've never seen that before so I am curious where to find one ....

Another way you can tell if its forged or not is with this:
Check your engine serial number on the valve cover build sticker or you need to look at the block where the oil cooler is bolted to it .
Start of production thru 1425746 are Forged Rods
1425747 thru 1440712 are Powdered Rods
1440713 thru 1498318 are Forged Rods
1498319 thru final production run are all powdered
I found this while searching online. I would recommend looking by the oil cooler because the valve cover is probably worn by now.
Also like I said I found this, i am not 100% certain it is correct.

No problem. I looked a few places and couldn't find a 5/16s square head. I'm glad I could be of some help. What month was your 01 made?
