    I bought a Toyota 4x4 so I can go anywhere without concern. Now I am concerned.

    I feel like these guys normally do good work, but we have turned them into the Jiffy Lube of gears... They are trying to set speed records in an attempt to turn lots of trucks, but at a cost of quality work.

    My truck has 2500 miles on it and I'm always going to wonder...

    Thanks for posting. I consider these posts a checklist to go over once the work is done. No big deal! Still excited for some new gearing!

    That's great for folks who have the ability and know how to check all this. I do not have the knowledge and frankly am too old to be crawling under the truck to check the work I paid someone to do for me. I got 1-2 days to determine if I want to risk my vehicle I depend on.

    Just crawled around and have no issues visually or audibly. I have to rotate my tires soon so I’ll just take it to my shop and let them do it.....

    I’m with you. I feel like there’s more negatives than positives. I’m leaning towards out now. Maybe purchase the gears and take it somewhere else for install.

    Thanks! If I didn't have to drive back up from San Diego I'd take it to their shop and have them break them loose and torque correctly. I managed to to get both the rear tires loosened and retorqued but only managed 5 lugs on my front passenger before the breaker bar gave up the ghost. I'm worried that when I try the last one again the stud itself might break???

    that’ll be great! I have an appointment in a few days and I’m considering on backing out now after seeing all these posts.

    Just checked all my seals everything seems fine. I mean I've broken breaker bars trying to loosen bolts up maybe your tool was ready to give out @Tombiology70
    also thanks @SoCalTacoTruck for putting this together.

    They are that tight? Even with a breaker?

    I can break 200+ ft lbs with mine and I think shop impacts hit 120-140.

    I've never had to work as hard as I did to break these loose and I've worked on some rusted beasts in the past so no clue how tight they are but they are damned tight!

    All these recent posts got me on edge now. I was really excited about the gearing but now I'm kind of nervous. :confused:
