ya know, because, it doesnt have one, so ones gotta go on
2007 totally stock 4.8 WT 2wd
doing a 228/230 trickflow cam
pac 1218 springs
7065 turbo on a KB racing manifold, single 44mm gate on the turbine
3 inch air to air intercooler, 80lb injectors in the stock intake, 450lph in tank pump, converting to 2Bar OS and trying a duramax 3.3bar Ebay sensor
installing 4.56 gears, exhaust dump valve and connecting to stock exhaust for stealth manuvers.

correct, its not going to be a race truck or anything, that is what the colorado is
wanted to see what its like to build quiet and conservative and reliable for a change, the cold AC is pretty nice lol
the gears will help the trans for sure, it wont be working so hard to accelerate
also right now its still giving me growing pains idling with the speed density so im gunna put the maf in the piping and balance it out, tune on maf and SD and see what is the best balance.
realistically it seems like it just needs the maf to idle right, and i can fuel over SD

So Denmah pulled the pinion and posi 4.56 gears out of a junk yard donor truck, slammed it into his wife's truck by just setting the preload on the pinion and then setting the back lash to .010 or whatever and it worked straight away lol!
I couldn't pull that trick off in a dozen tries!

i normally do it by feel, i just brap the impact till its dragging slightly, that is my buddies garage with the lift and he has the little drag scale so i did it for fun.
it felt a tiny loose but i shipped it anyway, measured in around 13 backlash, ill ship them anywhere 10-20
these whine a tiny bit so maybe one day we will tighten it up

Checkin here and youtube for progress, where ya at matt ?!?!??? Curious to see how those 4:56's work out as i was thinkin of running 4:11's in my turbo 5.3 camaro just cuz there in there already and i suck at setting up gears, also as you stated take it easy on the 4l60e
