    It's not even close to being as good as a custom tune! There are a bunch of guys on here who HAD hypercraps, diablows and stuff. They will all tell you that it was night and day difference going with a custom tune. There are so many more parameters that can be adjusted than what the handhelds give you. It's worth it, I promise...

    You would have to remove the front driveshaft to play it safe since the front shaft is always spinning.

    I did it for a few months, no it will not leak even though it is a slip yoke. The front shaft is male, unlike the rear that is female. So there won't be a single drop of fluid loss.

    Or you can trade in your 4wd for 2wd and transfer all the mods. 2wds are cheaper to maintain and you only have one axle to re-gear.
