Alabama thread!

unless someone just wants to say they're being unique there's no reason to not use a GM V8.

parts are cheap and they're reliable

 

For sure. I'll be spending a lot of time at the LKQ whenever I get to build what I really want. Its going to a be Frankenstein Toyota Pickup of sorts.

 

I did because 3rd gen lol.

 

Any of y’all know this guy? Gonna get someone hurt.

 

And at the very least, who wants to carry around a heavy chain in the mud instead of a strap?!

 

I have never replaced the diff gasket and never had any problems, Black hi temp rtv

 

Black RTV, Maximum Oil protection

 

So black high temp RTV it is. Did ya'll buy the gear oil in the gallon containers? Where's the best place to buy it in large quantities?

 

Best place to get an alignment in Huntsville...GO! Affordable and fast are always a plus

 

nowhere. go now to the auto stores and buy the quarts. the stuff ECGS recommends is hard to come by, auto stores only keep like 2 on the shelf of it but they will order you a case of it.

 

did we use the black rtv on mine I seriously just don't remember and followed your lead. I vaguely remember a black mess now that you were like "you can do this step" haha...

 

How much did you need for both diffs? I'm gonna just order it through Advance Auto. I got coupons galore.

 

it's like 3.5 and 2.5 I think? want to say you need 6 quarts.

 

And you said you only drained the rear at 500 miles?

 

I did both, just for shits and giggles. The front didn't need it though.

 

Neat. So 6 quarts of Lucas 85-140. I'll order another 4 after the break in.

 

please don't 100% go off my numbers unless someone else confirms them...as stated earlier my memory sucks. i'm 99% sure it's 6 quarts though..

 

Meh, sounds right. I'll double check though.

I only drained my rear at 500. I did drain my front after about 4 or 5k since i had used my front diff a bit.
