Damn that's aggravating. Go through driveline first looks so much better that way. Probably something the big block was hiding.

Thanks i'm really digging the look too, the rake it had was pretty crazy... I know its in the driveline, the only thing changed was the rear block was pulled out. Pretty sure its the carrier bearing being at the wrong angle. The drive shaft coming out of the t-case is on an angle with a difference of atleast an 1" from each side. Then the bearing is the low spot then the driveshaft to rear axle is flat or close to it. Hope to have it fixed by the weekend so i can beat on my truck vibration free at the drag strip. And see how slow my truck really is.

Yea you literally flipped the pressure point on the carrier. I can't remember and I definitely can't just go look anymore is there anyway to raise the carrier? What have guys like Mike and DZLpower done to theirs?

there are ways to raise it, I want to find a shop to build me a 1 piece driveshaft and say F U to the carrier bearing....Ain't nobody got time for that. there's actually a slight vibration on the highway too. so maybe the u-joints are a little worn out already? or the drive shaft is really binding up because of the angle its on. either way I need to fix this problem so I can go to the track and give it hell!

Could be but when the rear was stock hieght there were no vibrations even over 100mph, probably gonna look further into a 1 piece driveshaft with new spicer u joints. And probably put it back to stock height in a few weeks or maybe order up some icon front coils and a 5" rear block. If i decide to put 37's on it. Otherwise stock height and 35's for now. This whole being lowered thing isn't my cup of tea, i feel like i'm in gmc(gay man chevy)

All turbo whistle........it tows the trailer really well in gear heads race tune. Not sure what my egt's look like but it's almost flat everywhere. We don't have hills in manchester,ct or bolton so should be fine for quite a while. 135.8 more miles and i'll be at 100k miles.

I'll probably end up doing the burnout myself. After i rotate my tires so they are worn evenly....and now that i know how get my truck to spin posi i can make sure they are worn evenly...gotta make sure to hit 4000rpm too.

Lol Tmi! I did a boosted launch at a stop light on the way to a country concert a month ago and the cooler went flying back hit the tailgate and launched a handle of absolute and the red solo cups out of the cooler. Good thing we had extras in the cab...
