    I never got to see the truck that convinced me to kiss my wallet goodbye in person. :( Safe travels! West coast looks like a bunch of fun for wheeling and exploring.

    Whenever you get settled in Az would you mind snapping me a couple of pictures of how you have your trac bar mounted on the forward side? I see the pics of the Axle side but wnated to see how your other end way fabbed up.

    Every once in a while I log in, and see that this thing has been bumped :p

    Believe it or not I haven't had a chance to wheel out here yet. Other things taking my time. Plus it's been hot as shit.

    Think I'm having this issue. The rearend is making noise, kind of a howl, but not sure if it's the driveshaft or the crush sleeve going bad. Got 4.56 nitro gears form ECGS.

    We'll get there.

    Did you get the solid spacer? If so, you have no crush sleeve.

    I don't recall if I requested the solid spacer, I'll have to check my paperwork. I've tagged the driveshaft at the flange a couple times, now I hear a low whine like the U joints need greasing. I greased all the U joints, but the noise is still there. I'm hoping the installer didn't do a half ass job and now the gears are making noise cause they are wearing.

    ECGS doesn't do a half-assed job. If you didn't get the solid spacer, that's likely your problem. Solid spacer or bust on future regears. It's very important.

    I bought the gears and had them shipped. 4 wheel parts in Riverside, CA did the install just to put it out there. Customer service from ECGS was awesome, got me the gears the next day.
