Good to know. My diff guy was saying to just change the posi and it should be fine. I will keep this in mind if I blow it up.

Yes, yes...I know you are dying to hear about the cam and pulley results--ME TOO!!! But I want this to be as "scientific" as I can get it so as to not get too many "apples to oranges" complaints. I may need some assistance though, if interested?

Update on the rear diff HERE.

Minor set back and update...

The BAD news: After delaying since the end of October, the shop where I was having the Yukon worked on has decided not to do business any longer!

The GOOD news: Rick at Synergy will be continuing with the project as soon as the other shop delivers it. Rick has a fairly good knowledge of the Yukon as he has done excellent work on it in the past, and I look forward to working with Rick again to get the new 14-bolt installed correctly, and to wring the most out the new 383/MP122HH!

The shop was in Suisun City near Fairfield. The owner did fine work for me but with his personal issues was never able to get the work completed in a timely manner.

Between my job and the last shop I've not been able to make any of the organized events--that one time at Infineon when raced together and then when I snapped the rearend in Sept were the only times when the truck was running!! Rick is good about getting the work done, so I'm sure we will run into each other at his shop, or definitely at some of the track events.
