Re: Project: LS1ick68

The final step(at least a major one) is finally complete. The 4.11's and Eaton Posi are installed.

New Eaton posi(limited slip)



factory 4.11 r&p set, new crush sleeve, bolts and threadlock ready to go.


Tear down.


Out with the 3.07 gears and modified Gov-Lock.




The guy installing the gears was supposed to do everything on Thursday, Jan 3rd. He went back to his shop to remove the bearings off the old carrier since they were practically new. One of them messed up in the process, so he looked in his attic for another set. In the process, he fell out of the attic and broke two ribs!! He said he needed to wait and come back on Friday to finish. As you can see from the pics, the rearend was almost completley out anyway, so I decided to finish pulling it out to make it easier on him.



Everything installed and ready to get oil and cover and be reinstalled!


I got it all put back in and bolted up by Friday evening, but had no one to help bleed the brakes until Saturday evening. My wife came out and helped me get that done so I took a test drive. The lower gearing made a HUGE difference!!!!

Now I need to figure out how to get traction.
