    Well, let's put it this way. My 01 4.8L from a stop would spin the tire (yes only one) without a problem, so I figured the more engine I get the worse this is going to get. I haven't been able to try it again on dry pavement due to the mass amounts of snow we have gotten the last 3 weeks in NY (got another 10" last night), but I really do this it had, there were times when I could punch it and the one tire would break loose, well now they both just lunge me forward. It's great. I was having issues pulling out of my parking spot in reverse today (rear end was sliding toward a pole), so I put it in drive and used the asphalt my truck had shielded from the snow to get me some momentum and from there the Eaton did the rest when I got in the yard in front of my apartment. Pulled me right through. I've only got 2wd, so it definitely helps.

    Yeah, no problem about posting those in another section, that's what I did em for. the LS1 fan install is linked at the bottom of the Eaton page and visa versa.

    Mayn, that is a lot of work. I wish I had the patience to do that install

    HOnestly, I would say if you had all the right tools this would be a one to one and a half day project max. I ran into problems and it took me longer, but it really could be done in a day or little more.
