as far as i know it came out of an 03 tahoe with 80k on it

fluid was pretty gross so i drained and filled it twice. i think yhere was a blockage some where or something was stuck. and running it for a while/driving it around the blcok loosened it up

i think im going to go ahead and replace the shift solenoids and the 1-2 servo(going to upgrade to corvette)

Lost an axle.

Prepping for a truss, OTA track bar, new ball joints, LCA brackets, etc.

cleaned all the junk/excess parts out of the cab, pulled the OE trans shifter cable, pulled the brake cable for the ignition after removing the brake lock, sealed the hole for the new shifter level that pokes through the floor. re installed the cowl and windsheild wipers, measured for and ordered some adams drive shafts.

also i think my center console is now destroyed so i think ill switch to a 97+ when i get the chance so i can have less ghetto cup holders

Yup, JCR.

I liked it because it's low profile, the fit and finish is really nice too. Notched for the diff breather, etc. I'll post some more pics soon.

They definitely have some very nice quality parts!

My only complaint with JCR is typically their stuff is really pricey. Not so much the case with this gusset kit and truss though. Very reasonably priced compared to the competition out there. I paid less than 150 shipped for the truss and c-gusset kit.

Ill post some more detailed pics in my build thread soon.

Debating between HD Offroad Engineering or Rough Country bolt in shackle relocation. I have a gas tank skid and am getting a rear bumper that replaces the nutstrips and I dont want to have any issues getting the tie in from the HD offroad ones to fit. Any negatives on the rough country ones?
