Re: THIRD GENS IN AN EAST COAST JUNK YARD

Thanks for the video, especially the SPID. Wonder how that survived staying in the thrashed car, a bit different JL163298 though to chime in with the detuned 2.73 axle and the JG1 aluminum driveshaft.
Why would a non 1AZ have that option?

It's a Borg Warner 9-bolt with a 2.77 axle ratio. It has the JG1 aluminum driveshaft because the car is a fully loaded big fat porker. In this car the JG1 driveshaft was installed to help GM meet their C.A.F.E. standards.
