Larry, So you have the 3.82 ratio, I always see it listed as an option and this is the first I have heard of it existing. I have the 4.11 so my comfortable cruising speed is 35, maybe 40. What kind of cruising speed can you get, close to 50? I've done 50 but man is that engine screaming, roughly turning 2500 rpm's.
I'm trying to picture your torque tube being sprung and what's off an inch from side to side, the three bolts? is the axle housing okay?
Later,
Glen
