Just a little update...the tranny and rear end are done, just need to pick up the new 4" aluminum HD driveshaft, get the cooler and lines figured out, and get the wiring/tune figured out. I'm having trouble finding a 6.0/80-e file with my segment 1 ID. But, for the most part, everything's been pretty trouble free.

Oh, just remembered...the Pacesetter ORY won't work w/ the 80-e. I picked up another Flowmaster last night and we're going to run true duals on it since we have to hack everything up anyway. I'm running by the shop to drop of the driveshaft this afternoon...I'll snap some pics.

If Tracy doesn't need to hack it up for the flange, I'll definitely hook you up man! I'll give you a call after work tonight.

It's still in the truck...if it blows, I'll replace it. I got tired of not driving it.

A little update...

The tranny/converter are in and everything is wired, the gears/Eaton/girdle are in, and the exhaust has been redone w/ dual 3" pipes, an X-pipe and dual 3" Flowmasters. It sounds deep and throaty--no rasp at all. Sorry Chris, but we had to hack the Y pipe.

The only things that I didn't get to do were the tranny cooler and the traction bars. I might be able to get that done b/f the race this Friday, but I'm not pushing it. There are going to be some solid 10 second cars in my class...I'm not worried about winning, but I'd like to make a round or two.

I'm going to flash the computer tonight and hopefully take it to the track. Screw break in miles.

Be careful there Scream, with those new gears you really need to put some easy miles on them in the begining, I have gone through several sets and the first time there was no break-in and I had problems. I would think if you just take it easy for a couple of days and then the ride down there, you can giver her hell at the track.
