Well crappo. I had been told from the get-go the rear end was a 5.43 (which was "standard")but it appears to be the #$%@!% 6.17(optional). I was finally able to jack it up and rotate the rear wheels but got just a smidge over three turns on the driveshaft to one of the wheel. Tried it with just the left wheel up, then tried it with both wheels up. Either way it came up an RCH over three turns. As near as I can tell, that would indicate 6.17, right? (read something about doubling the count under certain circumstances). Anybody else have any ideas or should I just pull the cover and try to count'em to be sure. Have not been able to find any markings on the case so far and the "plate" has long since been wiped clean of everything but the VIN.
As long as I'm at it, I might as well put the word out here for a 5.43 R&P if anybody has one that's drivable.
