With my turbo, I'd need to leave around 3500 or so to cut a sub 1.75 second sixty. Good thing I have a hydro booster sitting in the shop waiting to be put in.

What did the carrier bearing sound like when it let go?

not sure, everything seemed fine.

when I turned off and headed to the ticket box I knew something didn't feel right, it was rubbing and vibrating. i was able to drive up onto the trailer tho!

I read through this thread on the weekend. Nice build! Also, seen you did the 3" coils, and it was sitting on the front bump stops. Thanks for the heads up! I ripped mine out after reading about it haha! rides a little softer now!

pretty much needed when you drop it that low, check out the belltech bump stops (1.26" tall)

Ordered a rear sway bar for the truck. I was getting a lot of movement at 70+mph on the interstate. hopefully it helps plant the truck to the road. and i hope it fits over my diff cover

going to the parts store tomorrow to pick up a few other things.

145 amp alternator
belt
idler pulley
carrier bearing

Should give me something to do over the weekend.

I didn't even think about it but I have a ton of bearings and stuff sitting around. I could have sent you a new koyo.

Are you running a 105 amp alt right now?
