4-5 years of a full size truck and a heavy right foot sounds like you got your moneys worth.

Probably. The only benefit of AAMs is that when set up correctly, they have less a chance of generating noise. That is why they are recommended for SUVs and Vans.

I know what you mean. However, with preload, something as little as a cough or a fart while your are pushing on the wrench can result in too much preload. It is in the higher end of the range so I am happy.

once again, thanks for going out of your way to help me out...

Glad it was quiet. To be honest I knew it would be. Don't forget about the 100 mile top-off.

It was a pleasure to work on your truck. I was just happy that it didn't rain on me like the first time.

My truck hasn't seen much track time but i can guarantee that i have A LOT of right foot abuse on the street, and my gears don't whine or give me any problems at all... its nice not to worry about something like that for once.

His set-up has been in my truck for about 3 years now.

Glad to see your back up and running AP! Brian does awesome work and i recommend him to anyone looking for a proper install!
