I jack the rear end up a few times a week, put it on two treadmills under the rear tires, turn them on and give the truck the sensation of moving, i also like to sit in the driver's seat, grasp the wheel, and play some driving music, and make engine noises when no one is around.

That's funny. For me at least. Probably not for you!At least now you name matches everywhere else!

Well i could offer up an update.. New coated main bearings should be here tomorrow. Firerings and material for the up pipes came in the other day, so i started to fab them up, ill get you all some pictures..
Anyway the true trac and rebuild kits came in today, just waiting on a stock rear ring and pinion to put that back together, putting stock gears back in, and moving down to 33's.
I am waiting on the pistons, sent them out for ceramic coating, and the broken one is getting replaced, needs to be custom machined to the other ones. I got a call today, the company said they opened the box, and it was already cracked, straight from Mahle, so they had to wait for a new one, well it's there. It is getting machined tomorrow, then sent out to Jet Hot on monday, along with the headers. I am going out now to finish welding on these pipes, i might post up some pictures later on.
