Wow, I have been off the road since early June, my rearend went on me.  The noise and leaking, sooooo...    Dropped the entire rear end, had the diff completely rebuilt w/3:55s, did the entire rear suspension, the entire axle assembly, the entire brake system etc etc.  I detailed everything too.  I also had the shift detent rollers and shifter cable replaced.  I dont know what was worse, the downtime or the bill.  So, Im a little bit happier and I want to thank all you folks for the great help as usual!  I told my wife I was going to take a 1/2 hr spin, that was 300 miles later!  I am in shock of the responsiveness w/the 3:55s and how nice the rear suspension feels too...

Joel, The Arlington Guitarshow is MUCH quieter then Dallas.  Since they madeDallas the Musicfest it became a nightmare.  I'll be at the Convention Center at the Ball Park, Stayin at the Wyndham right there.  This facility is QUIET!  I love this show, its my fave..
