    Yup, it should work. Just gotta have the air solenoid for triggering the locker.

    Nice, I think that comes with it. Btw Here are my final numbers that I just measured out

    I'm gunna say the 12mm was a tad too large

    -3' of 11mm (might be able to get away with 2' but it's close..)

    -7' of 8mm to be safe (might be able to get away with 6' though)

    -1' of 6mm

    -9' of 3.5mm

    Will do, I have a feeling it's going to have good low end acceleration and would be good for city stop and go but won't be too great on the highway/freeway.

    We will see, my order is supposed to be here on Monday. Hopefully I can do the install same day.

    I was just going to change my oil, opened up the hood to take the oil cap off the engine.. Coolant f'n everywhere.. Had a pipe clamp snap on me, luckily I think it popped on my way to work today and I caught it early. It was a Napa auto pipe clamp..

    That sucks man. Hopefully you didn't lose too much coolant. I have to put some in my truck I think, it is getting a bit low since I had a leak in one of my hoses. I can never tell if I'm making those clamps too tight, right now one of mine keeps letting the hose get pushed back even when I really crank down on it. I guess the pressure in the cooling system really is that high though. About to drive 5.5 hrs home on Friday so I need to re-tighten and add some coolant and some oil to the t-case (stupid rear output seal is still undercoating my frame).

    Thanks again for the lengths on the hoses, I ordered some but one of the sizes I got was on back order so it may be a while until I get to putting them in.

    Yea hopefully i didn't loose too much, I might have over tightened the clamp a little but i think i did that because it had a slow drip before.. oh well its fixed now lol, i have unlimited hose clamps here at my work. Man that blows about the tcase seal though, hopefully its not too hard to replace when you get around to it. No problem bro, if you have any questions of where the specific sizes go just let me know.

    Oil change is done, can't wait to drive it and see how it feels with the redline oil.

    Looking forward to hear about your experience with Redline oil, I'm gonna put MT-90 in my tranny when the time comes to change it.

    I just did a little 2 mile drive, I think my truck likes the redline. Nothing crazy noticeable, just felt a little smoother. I've only heard great things about redline.

    Yup the redline oil is the one. I don't really let my truck warm up for very long in the mornings before taking off :anonymous: but with the redline/synthetic it didn't seem to make much of a difference wether the truck was warm or cold.

    Just ordered a couple of things..

    -ARB tire inflation kit w/ ARB inflation gauge
    -Firestik fire ring coax cable and coupling. The standard coax wasn't working out for me, should've gotten this one in the first place..
    -a 2.5" heavy duty exhaust clamp
    -more redline gear oil for Tcase and fron 3rd.
