    Yes I am. I just picked my truck up, supposed to pick up yesterday but the 4x4 indicator was flashing and 4hi/4lo wasn’t engaging. Mike said something wound up with the actuator when he unplugged it. So he ordered a new actuator overnight with no charged. I noticed the difference right away while pulling out from the shop. He said he will leave the actuator plug in next time
    Highly recommended Paden Drivetrain!!

    So are all you guys satisfied with Paden's? Any issues yet? For a while I was thinking about doing the swap myself but that would've been a $4000 charge before the core charges came back.

    Completely satisfied with Paden thus far. I only have 40 miles on the new gears but so far so great.

    Called Paden today. I asked about rear air lockers (I’ve got an SR) and he said he’d install it in the shell if I do my own airline plumbing and electrical which coincidentally is how I prefer it. Said it’d only take him an extra 30 min to install and drill the hole. I ordered the locker and just waiting for it to get here. Quoted me about $1800 for gears of my choice. Now the question is... which ratio. I’m so stoked!

    He just said to call him when the locker shows up and give him a few days heads up.

    ARB Locker & replacement carrier bearings showed up today. Gears are going in on Monday at Paden - I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

    Finished the break in on my 4.56’s day before yesterday. Changed out the gear oil yesterday and drove on the freeway for the first time this morning. Huge improvement! 65mph = around 2200 rpm’s.

    Do you know what type of oil Paden used for your first fill? I’m gonna go with Dino after break in but just curious what they slammed in there to begin with.

    I forgot to ask and have no clue.

    I used Lucas Dino 85w-140 per ECGS recommendation.

    No worries it’s in there short enough to not matter. Was just curious if I’m paying for $140 in oil just to burn it.

    That’s what I’ll be going with after break in. Might move to something like Redline synthetic after 20K or something.

    Curious what the reason would be to change from Lucas Dino to Redline synthetic?

    Dino doesn’t deal very well in extreme heat and I’ll be moving to Utah. Dino can be fine so long as you change it more often. I’d like to extend the amount of time between changes if it’s possible.
