My little baby gets new gears tomoorw! :-)

Anthony over at Hoopers in Sun Valley Ca, will be giving my girl new gears tomorrow!

Going from an Open 2.72 Expressway setup to an Eaton 3.42 Posi setup. New bearings etc... I cant wait! Finally the 455 will come to life! :-)

Been saving for the rear. Im stoked. The guys at Hoopers are a class act. Making the road trip from San Diego to Sun Valley and then home tomorrow night. Wish me luck!

Good luck and have fun.

I too went from 2.73's to 3.42's but I didn't get a posi. Trust me you'll have a lot of fun with those gears. Gets you off the line quicker, but doesn't rev the motor too high on the highway

Break them in gently. First 50 miles not over 50 mph, and best if you go a few, stop to let them cool, etc.
