    Drive to Annapolis. Get some froyo and wait for 30 minutes then drive home. Perfect.

    LMAO damn nick. Yeah, 50 miles at a time. And if you’re on the freeway, don’t maintain a constant speed. Fluctuate every few minutes

    I was told 30 minutes or 15 miles, take a 30 minute break to let cool.

    Dont exceed 45 mph until the first 3 cycles, and dont keep the speed the same for over 5 minutes until break in is complete.

    I'll say this, the 5.29s with ect on makes my truck run like a scalded dog.

    Hopefully. My roommate got texts from a friend of something going down.

    There is a helicopter flying around. More often than usual. Most nights I assume it’s coast guard making runs but it sounds like they are making circles

    Did ECGS do your gears? Their procedure is different.

    No they didnt.

    But I'm going off memory so I cant say its exact. But I know I wrote down what my gear shop said, and what the manufacturer recommends. My gears are broken in just fine.

    I also am not a believer in only having them do it. I think there are plenty of capable shops out there that can do it and know how to. Considering the shop I go to has been doing gears for 13 years in all different types of vehicles, and they are 45 minutes from me. Instead of 4 hours each way lol

    Never said they’re the only ones out there, but they are pretty great, no denying that. And they have a 5 year warranty on their diffs for up to 35” tires, which no one else in their right minds would offer.

    I just know nick got his from ECGS, so he should follow what they say.

    Twitter is bullshit.

    Arlington PD:
    UPDATE: The preliminary search of the theater has completed. All individuals sheltering in place have been evacuated. Police remain on scene investigating and a police helicopter is assisting. No evidence of a shooting has been located.

    Right. If he has a warrenty with his diffs he should definitely do what is required to maintain it.

    The shop does 1 year parts and labor warrenty plus manufacturer warrenty.

    Does Ecgs 5 year warrenty say they warrenty the diff if you 4wd launch it aka racetruck?

    If nick managed to grenade his diff doing that, they would honestly probably warranty it. They’re pretty lax and their customer service is top notch.
