Well big brown truck should be delivering my gears today for the dana 60. Master kit was delivered friday. Hopefully my mechanic was able to order my locker and carrier for the front and rear. And hopefully he is back from PA so he can get to work once we get the parts. Really needed the truck for Christmas to drive north. Gonna be a crammed car if i can get everything in it.

well good luck Andrew, hope you can get it going soon.

started the truck at lunch to see how it'd do, worked great (though the sun and lack of wind only had the EOT and ECT down into the 50's)

what is everyone doing today, being on task at work or something?

Glad it worked out for ya, let me know if you need something. I am dropping my drive shaft off to them tomorrow. They don't do them themselves, but have a company. They retrofit the stock ones to make it easier to repair yourself?? I am all for that.
