Once I get the intake and intercooler set up, I'll be able to run it a little longer, long enough to take a video. Should be soon I hope, I'm just waiting on a guy in Ont to send me a intercooler and another guy here in NB to come override the passlock and give me a better tune. Hopefully by end next week.

The body should be going back on by the end of next week.



Quick question that doesn't involve the swap but I know I have the right guys reading this post to answer.



My front axles have a lot of play at the diff, do I just remove the axles from the diff and tighten the nuts that are located behind the axle mounting location or is it the bearings that are gone? And if it's just the nuts, why would they have come loose?

Are they moving in and out??? Or is there play in the rotation between the shaft and the flange??

I don't think there moving in and out, it's hard to tell with everything still connected. I think it's moving on the flang. When I push up on the shaft next to the diff it will have a abnormal amount of movement upwards. I'll go double check though.

The flanges tend to loosen on the splines. May be a good thing to replace the flanges,bearings,spindles,and seals. Keep up the good work!
