I see no need to change my from my torque tube. It has the 3.55 R&P and the parts kit. All parts in my front end and braking system are new.
I can cruise the Interstates all day at 65 mph at around 12-15 mpg. If I cruised at 60, I'd get around 15-18 mpg. I have impressed/astounded my friends by easily hitting 90 mph (but, I backoff immediately).
No horror stories from me. I still get a little drip under the u-joint housing until I re-tighten the collar ring.. I have gotten used to it ,and I top up the transmission fluid every year.
