Yea, I tried that for a couple hours on Sunday. Between my less than stellar welding skills, cheap flux core mig and cramped access to the sunken bolt, I wasn't able to make it happen.

When I had a broken bolt on the rear PS head I ended up pulling both heads and doing a $500 top end rebuild. In retrospect, I'm kinda glad I did as it gave me some peace of mind and got me more familiar with the internals of small blocks (they're very simple). However, it was definitely a pain in the ***.

Word, can't win them all. I spent 6 hours on a rear one on a 2500hd once, I got it. Told myself I would never spend that amount of time on one again though. haha

I wrapped up a few overdue maintenance items last night. Voodoo driveshaft, OEM coupler replaced, CS toe rods, Mevotech rear upper control arms.

The upper control arms really had a minimal effect, but the toe rods are much more firm. The squishy rubber bushings in the OE toe rods did not play well with the 95a trailing arm bushings. I was getting a squirly feeling from the rear in a straight line. That is now gone. I matched the new toe rods to the old rods to maintain the alignment. Just stuck the bolts through both rods at the same time while I had them laying on the floor and adjusted them accordingly. I'll probably have it checked again before I replace the rear tires, but it seems to be right on.

The Voodoo driveshaft is everything it claims to be. Glad I don't have to deal with an aftermarket unit and the troubles others have experienced at twice the cost.

Where did you install the cutouts? Just in front of the mufflers?

Got all my goodies ordered today, OBD, high flows, header wrap, arp.

Get my tune lined up next week and we can put another chapter of the v to bed

Yep, just after the bend in the pipe coming from the center of the car, right before the OEM mufflers and angled down just a tad so they aren't pointed straight at the spare tire tub.

Stays quiet when I want and loud when I like it.

Spent the morning being a copy cat........
Center section of the wheel turned out stellar, now time to re wrap it.

That wheel looks great, almost tempting me to do mine.

Constant hair dryer and keep pulling and it turns out pretty sweet.

Word, I have done it on a vehicle I had in the past. Did you use the Di Noc 3m stuff?

Bought some diff fluid, tranny fluid, oil and filter, hoping to get all of that tackled this weekend.

Here the same, I also swapped to the 06-07 halfshafts and some other mods, I will show next time, what did you think was the reason for broking, wheelhop?

I have all the CS bushings& mounts, still wheel hops. broke a dif once already, replaced with later model srx 3.90 ratio. Since the driver side CV broke, going to try a bigger shaft on one side to counter the wheel hop.

Choppy_Idle

100% the same way I go now with my car, but I will try to use the LS2 shafts on both sides, not only driver side and will upgrade the lsd with more preload or more discs inside!

You have looked into the lsd, I have broken preload washer from clutches inside, then you only have 1 wheel spinning at burn out?!
