Found out why my bank 2 o2 was acting like it was misfiring at WOT...

Turns out its just a leak, not an actual misfire, so all is good. Probably needed to change the plugs anyway.

Todays big project was pulling the front diff and replacing both axle seals and the pinion seal. For anyone that plans on pulling the front diff, it sucks! You need to turn the wheels all the way to the left, move the diff down, then all the way to the right to be able to tilt it down enough to get it out.

Pretty dirty since the previous owner put over 200,000 miles on it and liked to offroad I guess...

After a little pressure washer and degreaser...

And everything inside looked perfect, which I expect because its an OEM setup.

I used some RTV on the case so hopefully it wont leak anymore, and also replaced the driver side CV since the boot was torn and throwing grease everywhere.

I said it felt like is was down on power...which with a good size exhaust leak will loose a lot of compressor speed, so it was probably in a different part of the map....or im just getting used to it

Looks like you blew an *** gasket...
