It is running really smooth too.  Better then it has ever been.  Im loving it.  And I saved a shit ton of money.  We figured with all the work that needed to be done it would tally up at around $3200.  I spent about $150.  So I saved alot of money.

Right on.   I may be up there sometime this week to help a guy with his breaks and sometime I need to do my U-Joints.  Probably this weekend.

Front and rear pinion seals replaced yesterday.  Summer is great.  I can slowly complete all those things I put off during the cold ass winter months.

Rich, I think I can help you install your locker, if you want to give it a try.  You will need a shim kit for your dana 35.  You should be able to pick one up online for cheap.  Talk to Pete for more info.  Also, we will need:

Locktite
Rollerbearing grease
Diff fluid
New bearings and races if your locker doesn't have them installed already.  Again, Pete can help you get the right parts, I imagine.  Also, if you ask him, he probably won't mind if we call him if we get stuck.

I learned a lot working with Pete on my locker.  Well, I watched for the most part, but I learned none the less.  I don't charge much, just beer, but I don't warranty like Pete!  Let me know if you are interested.
