Well I made another purchase from Moe's on Black Friday, and got the mopar lsd and 4.10 gear and had them installed Thursday.
Unfortunately I was there from 8:00am till 4:00pm It was worth it though. Only got a couple pics because they didn't want me back there and that sucked but they did a awesome job.
Truck feels much better does not take so long to get up and moving. Now comes the break in period so I got to wait to see what it can do.
I plan on changing the oil again at about 500 miles.
I do have a question should I tow something and put it under load before I do or it does not matter?

For the factory gears, the owners' manual states to drive 500 miles before towing.

Yes I know. I was just wanting to know at about 500 miles should I put a load on it that way if any Metal shavings happen before I change the oil or it don't matter.

yeah, it isn't like changing plugs or anything like that. It's not just a unbolt, bolt in deal. There is some measuring, set-up, pattern checking, and maybe some re-setting, re-checking, etc. So you should be prepared to spend some time, and be glad they are taking their time, hopefully doing it carefully, and not just trying to **** it out.

i would ask the shop about changing fluid and towing as i am sure they warranty their work.
