Don't know if it was already mentioned, but the axle shafts between the open diff and locked diff are different. So add those two parts into the equation at about 300$ per for the ones that go with the E-locker. Not sure if all the wiring is present on your truck either.
I only know this...
Just got a bold performance cat back to replace my rotted out hack job that a local exhaust shop cobbled together.
What can I say? This exhaust is incredible for the low price. All stainless, quiet, no drone, and best of all--even though it's not advertised this way, you can omit the tailpipe...
Smells like gear oil and my break fluid res is not low at all. Went ahead and ordered a new axle shaft assembly along with pads and rotors front and rear.
That is a good point. I hadn't thought of that.
I am of the mind to change the caliper along with the axle assembly to rule out both possibilities. The caliper pin boot really shouldn't be squashed like that. Makes me wonder if the caliper is also seized by coincidence ?‍♂️
Hello friends, I recently discovered this greasy substance on my passenger side rear hub. I can't tell if it's the dreaded axle seal leak or a brake fluid leak. The caliper pin boot doesn't look right.
I checked my diff fluid and thankfully, it was not low at all. I plan to check the brake...
I didn't use the sticky tape. Couldn't get the tape to do a darn thing! The whole ordeal was such a pain in the ass, but oh so worth it. Still looks good to this day
I did this twice, but the problem returned after a few months. The real problem is the warped assembly, for which there is a revised part. Unfortunately, to get the entire assembly out, it does require the dash to be torn down. The dealer monkeys definitely broke a few things getting to it!
For what it's worth, my cable has been reliable since I installed it but it did take a lot of trial and error. The cable release doesn't bypass the lock, so if the truck is in motion, lifting the handle won't open the tailgate!
In retrospect, incorporating some sort of cable tensioner would...
I've got a 20" single row light bar, amber driving lights in the bumper, amber driving lights as ditch lights, and whute/amber switchback bulbs in the stock fogs
Just found out that the tabs that retain the underseat compartment latches are super weak and can break if something heavy is put on them.
To fix this and prevent the other side from breaking, I made an insert that reinforces the tabs and bypasses the one that broke on me. I don't expect to...
I have 16's and I would do the same again. The only thing I don't like is the lack of tire choices. These are P265 75r16 with a C load rating. Nice and lightweight.
