Yea last Sunday I went up the highway a few miles. It does ok for stock with 3.55s. I would like to put Clifford's ecm and hydra in and throw some runes in for it. Not sure I will bother for this trip. Lack of gauges makes me want t to not do anything tho...I am deff sending the naw4 off to have tde4 programming installed next week. New strategy suxks for the e4od. I prefer tde much more. Then we work on fuel system elimination of leaks...

I work at a place that does heavy equipment remanufactured components. Our biggest customer is Canadian and they laid off 850 people a month or so ago. That has us standing around looking at each other and 30+ laid off here. It sucks, I'm about to go into emergency mode on a lot of stuff. I have 24 hrs this week and am off unpaid tomorrow...

we have shut down three of our districts, totaling at least 400 employees including the corporate layoff and partial layoffs in other districts.

lots of good people are going to competitors...

Would you keep the 3.55 is you could run an under drive and gain 20% ratio? I am considering putting 3.55 in a dana 60 I have sitting around a converting the 2wd to 4x with the under drive.
