    deteriorating lifters and camshafts

    Just got the diagnosis that my tick which seems to be getting more noticeable is definitely lifters. Going to try Redline 5W30 1st before I make any hasty decisions.

    Selecting a gear....or not

    Hi guys. Getting ready to swap out my factory open differential to the Eaton torsen style. Was thinking of upgrading the gears while I was at it. Mine is stock with 3:55 and was thinking of moving up to a 3:90. It doesn't seem like a big change on paper but I'm sure there going to be more to it...
