swapped in an 8.8 today, relatively painless. 

need to remember to gut the ebrake from the right side when i get ahold of a mini spool.


was supose to be a 4.10 but its a 3.55 booo


investigated no power steering, found cracked power steering gear, awesome.

think the cracked gear is from the same hit that broke the axle?

rear axle mini spool and rear axle brake lines installed/ bled.  8.8 swap done.

cut old pitman arm off after 1hour of failed struggle to remove, then installed it 180degrees off on the new box  >:(

left this pile on the lift in hate. 


needs a ball joint also.
