I found fifth gear!!! It was hiding somewhere in my transmission, and now that I have 4.88's, it came out of hiding! It took nearly 3 hours to get home from CTAxle. I had to keep it at or below 60mph the whole way, and I had to stop every 15 to 20 miles to let the gears cool down. The speedo is better than it was with the 3.73's, only now it reads about 7 over at 60mph instead of 10 under. I have to route the wires and switches for the lockers tomorrow. I climbed up a steep dirt mound with just the limited slip... Crawled right up it without me giving any pedal. Everything is so much smoother now. Pete found that the 8.8 pinion was warped a little, which is what was giving me so much slop in my rear drive train. Up front, with the new outter axle seals (like the ones One-eye has), and the new u-joints, the steering was much stiffer. Overall, SUPER happy about it. Pete was awesome and was a pleasure to work with.
