Yep, its all here.
I'd like to send out a public thanks to a very cool dude, you know who you are
I hope the logic of "well if I can put in a shift kit, I can put in a Detroit Locker" is sound thought, or a may be in trouble
I think I'm going to take a few hours here, and review BMDMAX's install and some other online "How To's".
Any more advice before I head out there and start unbolting things?

Thanks everyone, for your advices



wait, thats what got me here in the first place

10.5 is not that bad to install. The parts are heavy, but the removeable pinion support makes that part easier. Take your time, check and double check your measurements.
