Oh there is definitely damage... its still noisy. Im just hoping it holds up until tax return time...

I have driven about 2k miles since I first noticed it. Within that time it has started a weird metal tick/squeak. that was the noise that was hard to track down because its only under loaded acceleration.

Ah shit, man. That sucks.

Not sure if you plan to do the work yourself or take it somewhere, but Baertrax in Dallas regeared my '89 Jimmy a couple years back, and they seem to do solid work. I did the break in, changed the diff fluid, then immediately drove to Silverton, CO, did the Alpine Loop, then drove right back. No troubles with the new rear end at all.

Rear differential regeared to 4.10 (with two new axle shafts and all new bearings/seals) ran approx $1600 OTD if I remember correctly. However, I did buy and provide my own ring and pinion gear set, so you'll have to add that to the $1600. You might save about $500 if you don't need new axle shafts.

took third row out for some stuff to haul and realized that bt springs suck w/o a weighted down vehicle. Rode much better with more weight in the rear.

Installed the Kicker Hideaway sub/amp. Wasn't to bad, put in under the second row of seats, right in the middle, cut a 2 inch place in the carpet then another one under the front center console so I could run the wires. Sounds good for a small enclosed 8" sub. Next will be the door speakers I have all 4 to replace with kenwoods two way speakers.

The black dog is truckers lore, you feel asleep at the wheel, and the whole thing never happened. lol
At least it wasn't the fully dressed purple circus elephant i saw when i drove straight from Miami to Cleveland only stopping to fill up once. I was in the middle of bfn, and clearly saw the summamabitch standing in the highway. That ****** scared the shit outta me.

DOH' --- read to fast.

Still stick w/ post. Your going to love the stopping power. Bead them in when you get it all done and you will be set. ... Make sure nothing can be a projectile in the tahoe before you do the bead in process. lol seriously
