Swapped in a used rear axle assembly today . Out with the 4:10 gear and drum brakes with open diff and in with 3:42 gear with disc brakes and G80 locker . The axle came out of a 99 GMC Jimmy 2wd .
Did a full brake flush/bleed and the brakes are rock solid . Engine RPM's at 55 mph went from 2000 to a little over 1600 . Speedometer is now off by about 8-9 mph vs GPS . That will get corrected .
Locker works I put down 2 solid streaks on the road 50 foot long 😀 . Glass dude coming Monday morning to do the rear window swap . This little hot rod coming along nicely .
