Go to pull out the garage after my new axle and it won't move. Give it gas and the wheels chirp.. One or both of my front calipers are locked up. I'll finish it tomorrow

I agree about spring rate. I meant that a chevy express 3500 will have some stiff springs due to it HD nature.

Well after replacing the spark plugs and changing the oil I have much more power than before and higher oil pressure. Also I figured out why my phone app said I was getting 7mpg, I had fuel set at E85 not Petrol. So now my average MPG is 18.5

4.7 Stroker
I am almost done with a nightmare engine up grade with a 4.7stroker long block from S&J engines for a 99xj (if it runs). If anyone is interested in my fun dealingwith this company please let me know and I will tell you as well as show videoof engine noise, paper work and their responses. I personally would not and will not buy fromthem again. My opinion is find an engineshop local to you to where you can drive to their business for warranty service otherwise plan on no warranty.
