Thats a great idea. Did you put the gears in your spare then swap out axles? Or did you just use the spare to take apart and see how things work?

well I have a big problem with "while you're in there" mods so it went from a simple 4.11 gear and trutrac, to all brand new brakes, seals, high strength axles, etc. I've yet to swap it into the truck, it's just sitting in my garage right now.

got rid of my coolant reservoir to get a little extra space. Worked out nice I have enough room now to change the waste gate spring with it on the truck. Got some cleaning up to do but it works for now.

Your making some cool stuff. Been keeping tabs on Three6GMC build for more feedback on the coil over brackets. Those might be in my future. Unfortunately im done spending money was not planning on having to buy a new turbo. More cool stuff will have to wait until next winter

Took the truck for a spin with the new turbo and it sounds completely different. Especially the blow off valve. Went up to 3# let off the throttle and it makes a very interesting sound. Will try to make a video of it after work and post it.
