Oakley's History Lesson and Build Thread

That is a damn good idea. Very creative! I have a set of 4.10s that have been lying around, but I'm so scared of not properly aligning everything and don't have a press. We have always taken our 12 bolts to a local gear shop for this reason, but I'm not selling the truck like I would a camaro for profit and hate to pay them $250 if I bring the rear end or $500 if I bring them the truck.

I'll just end up using the torch to heat them most likely. We used to have a bearing heat plate around the shop but that was sold with all of my other toys.
I took 30 minutes and removed the posi and pinion. Tomorrow I'll gets some brake clean and clean the housing out, and see how much time I have to work on it. This truck is going to be a freaking animal with 4.10's.

Yea I really like the 3.42's. It is perfect for cruising and I do a lot of freeway driving to and from work. But since I will be running at the track a lot and going for some good ET's, I need the proper gear. Hopefully I get the install done by the weekend

Theoretically, I hope to be crossing the line at 5800-6000rpm with a 28" tall tire. That would be a trap speed of 120 which I think is obtainable with my current set up and new gearing. Just need traction and a solid 60'. My goal for next track time is to trap around 117-120mph or so.
Then when the new fuel system and hi ram goes in, and I can turn up the boost, and I'll still have enough gear with my 30" tall tires. Plus the hi ram will like to cross the line at 6000+ rpm
