Just insalled 3.27 and aluminum driveshaft

Spent about 7 hours yesterday swapping my 3.27 rearend in, also did brakes all around, and the tranny gears for the speedometer.

We had to pop out the axles though because my car has the PBR brakes and the old one did not. Wasnt too bad though.

The car pulls so much better now its great. Although I cant tell how much of a different the driveshaft made, Im sure it still helps a bit but the car is even more fun to drive now.

Rpms did go up much either, crusing at 120 kms before I was at 2000 rpms, now im at 2400 rpms.

I didnt wanna get too low of a gear I just wanted to upgrade from the 2.77s which still left 2 big huge patches after 260k kms and no rebuild!

They come from the factory with better balancing and alot of people have gotten rid of their high speed shaking with an aluminum driveshaft. Mine was balanced and had new u joints installed just before I got it so it works great.
