Haven't touched this thread in a bit. Couple good updates. Swapped out the rear Fox 3.0 3 tubes for Carbon 4.0 5 tubes. Had to pocket the bed cage tubes to get them to fit, but they fits! Took the risk, but so far they are doing great
Also, I've been working on isolating individual noises. Clunks, tinks, creeks, bangs etc. Ever since the truck got caged it had a HORRIBLE "whirling" noise. Thought it was the tcase, so I rebuilt it. Thought it was U joints, so I replaced em and balanced the 2 piece. Thought it was a carrier, swapped it. Did EVERYTHING to avoid doing what I knew it was as along, the fucking rear end. The yukon gears and master overhaul had 12k miles on them... ugh. Pulled rear shaft and drove it down the street and it was silent. So I ordered Revolution gears and had another yukon master kit on the shelf, had them Installed and the noise is FINALLY gone. 100 more break in miles to go, then back to flogging.
In the midst of trying to sound deaden stuff, I drilled tiny tiny holes in the A, B and C pillar and filled them all with fireproof expanding foam. It actually seemed to help a bunch.
Pulling the knuckles off this weekend, or after we get back from V2R as well. Had EMF machine me out some lower balljoint tapered adapters, as my EMF joints are beating their way through the lower knuckle tapers lol. Makes the axle look bent, but tracks GREAT down the road this way. So between that, and cutting the original cruise control module out to be replaced, she will be dialed for the up coming season!
