    Wow what a huge difference 3.73 to 5.29, 37" tires. With the Pedal Commander turned on the go pedal is way too touchy with the new 5.29, I tried turning the PC down but it wouldn't go low enough until I got into its Economy mode. I turned the PC off.

    The axle wrap before was really bad before and now it's in the "I think my leaf springs are going to break category". I should throw some bungee cords on the axle or something. JK

    At 65 mph the engine is at 2,350 RPM's according to the stock tachometer, automatic transmission, V6. It goes up a 4* grade at 65 mph and can accelerate (slowly) without it automatically downshifting. So far, I love it.

    The used LSD was an extra $125 which I am super happy with.

    Now I need to break the gears in so I can go test it.

    Awesome to hear. Does the truck still feel heavy with the new gears? I just ordered my 4.88s, and on 34s it should be peppy again

    Stock right now.
    Did my ECGS bushing today! Lift has been on for 2 days and already got the vibes. I had a feeling it would happen so i ordered the bushing at the same time. Getting every thing out of the way/cv out/bushing in was a pretty big PITA. Glad i got it done!

    Also, i have the set if ECGS tools for sale if anyone wants em cheap cheap :thumbsup:

    I'm in a similar boat. I'm in Southern California, so no snow, but my RainX wipers are horrible even in the rain. They worked well for a solid 5 minutes..

    It seems to have really good power. The gears need to be properly broke in before I can nail the pedal. Most people with 2nd gens pick 4.88 for 37" tires, I tow often so l chose 5.29.

    Earlier I forgot to write that my brakes improved with the gear swap. This truck stops on a dime.
