sedc is on a distinguished road
This job is cheap if you don't add limited slips! You can sell your old 4.10 units for basically what you paid for the 3.64s!


The front drive shaft spacers are small enough to allow the use of the factory giubo hardware, and keep the factory driveshaft locator in place.

I believe they are something like cylinder head bolt washers. I have tons of hardware from years of working on BMWs, I just went through and found something that works.

If anyone wants to try a set, I have plenty of them available for not much money, just send me a PM.

Any little bit of extra spline contact helps! Make sure to pull the front drive shaft and lube the splines up nice and good, too!

it improved slightly, 21mpg mixed driving versus, I believe, high 19s. This is a stock vehicle running regular gas.
