Got the rear end stuffed back in there
Got the rear end stuffed back in there
Well, finally got the thing done. I took two days. Damn near brok my arm trying to get some of those bolts off. Thanks to TomP and the others that helped out. Anyway, now a noise is coming from back there. It sounds like tss,tss,tss,tss and increases with engine vehicle speed. I've checked to see if anything like the ebrake cable was touching moving parts but no such luck. Had the brakes refurbished like a pro so it can't be that (it was making the noise before I took it to them) What could it be? BTW, those 3.42s kick *** over the 2.73s.

Cool, congrats on the swap! Not sure about the noise, though.. could the driveshaft be scraping something under there? I had a panhard rod bolt come out after my swap (I forgot to re-check torque of all those bolts after a day or two!), and my driveshaft started smacking my exhaust pipe. Man I'm glad it didn't bust a hole through it!

Man I bet it was scary to see that. Did you see my other post requesting your attention? If not, just for future reference, what did you use to plug the brake line junction block? I tried everything and nothing seemed to work. Thanks.
