I gotta go through everything real close still but the valve cover was on my hit list. I also read to check the intake cause that's notorious for it on the 5.7. Just mentally preparing for the worst case lol.

I found oil on the bell housing yesterday and I'm almost sure I have a rear main leak as well so I figure if that's what it turns out to be I might as well just do the actual shift kit as well since my initial impression was the trans would need to come out. Plus I like having firm snappy...

4L60E gurus, I got a P1870 in my Tahoe which I read is typical of the TCC Valve. Does anyone know if I can use the Transgo 4L60E HD2 shift kit to fix it instead of the the SK 4L60E kit which is the kit listed as the TCC Valve fix?

I'm all the way down in Texas, that would probably be a sucky shipping bill. If I were closer I'd say definitely.

Scratch the Detroit then. I don't need anything that heavy duty anyway.

Shoot I'm definitely not looking to snap wheels off but at least you know it worked lol. I'll check into the lock right. From what I've read it seems everyone eventually learns them and adjust their driving habits to them for the most part. A lot of people have said the Detroit locker is...

I've been reading up about the Detroit locker, soft lock and trutrac but I still need to read up further and educate myself better before I make the decision on what I want to put in it. How was the streetability of the lock right IYO? I'm new to this stuff so.

That was my intent, just dunno what I'm gonna do for locker yet. I still need to dig further into that. I figured I'd take my time with this project and use it as an opportunity to learn.

I got the 3.42 g80 rear right now but it's time for that to go bye bye. I wanna go to 33s and a real locker.

I'd like to learn regearing so that's why I was considering doing regear in the front rather than a swap. Regarding the back I might be able to get the SS axle for 600 which is still kinda high it seems but it is local and I'm not blindly getting one shipped to me so that's always nice. He told...

Next question which is spin off to the rear is would I be better off just buying a junk yard or CL front dif or can I just buy the 4.10 internals and put them into mine?

Nvm my last comment. I guess the price went up, the Detroit axle ones are 85 on amazon now.

I was looking at the Detroit axle ones next seeing as my timkins are shot after only a year. I saw the Detroit axle ones on amazon for 75 a pair.

I'm gonna see if he'll budge, if not I guess I'll probably let it go. Any decent online sites anybody uses for buying them and having them shipped?

I came across an 06 TBSS axle on craigslist (same year as mine, guy said about 100k on it and everything looked good with brakes and all). Im looking to go to 4.10 gears for bigger tires. My question for the more experienced is what would a good price on one be? He is asking 1000.
