I talked to Martin @ Tick the other day and discussed cam options. I think we were able to come up with something that will work out really well for the truck. The cam will probably be one of the last things I order because it's not quite as much of a priority as some of the other components.

Picking up my front diff tomorrow morning and throwing it back in the truck this weekend so I can get the damn thing moving again! Anyone have any tips or tricks to installing the front diff by yourself while laying in the driveway? It was a pain in the *** to get it out of the truck, just seemed like everything was in the way when removing it. Anyway, more updates to come in the next couple of weeks as I start to piece together the fuel system and find out if the Aeromotive fuel pump setup I want to run will even work with the stock tank. We shall see!

Going in at a angle helps, yoke up first and then tilt it in from there. If truck has steering linkage and no rack, we always remove the linkage, just unbolt it from the idler/pitman arms.

Having 4 hands helps, that way the other person can start 2 bolts so you can let go.

You looking at a reverse split, single pattern or small split?

Thanks for the tip, I'm sure I'll get it back in the truck one way or another. Having an extra set of hands for the removal was nice but I guess I ran out of wrench turning friends sometime in the last few months so finding help has been a waste of time.

Small split in the mid 220's.

Good choice!

If setup correctly a reverse split is not needed, its a band aide to help build boost imo
