    i have a 2000 z71 with just a nelson tune right now and the rear seems like its not acting right. when i nail it one wheel will spin for a sec then the second will kick in then out then in then out. and when i come to a stop sign then take off i feel a little bump. i thought it was the u joints but they were just replaced. the bad thing is i just ordered a procharger friday so whatever can break will break soon. the same thing happened to my suburban, and it didnt have a limited slip, i was just a a light a nailed it and it went off like a grenade, followed shortly by my trans a week later. i dont want the same to happen to my silverado.
    i was thinking of putting in a mini spool. i had one in a 350 s10 and it tugged a little around sharp corners but it was alright. and if i get those spider gear out before they blow, i wont have to replace the ring and pinion gears like i did in my sub.

    well i can get a spool for like a hundred dollars and put that in until i get some cash for a detroit like i have in my sub. but right after i put the detroit in my sub the trans crapped out. hope i dont get a rerun of that. but i didnt have a shift kit in the sub like i do the silvy.

    If your diff broke before you changed it out, it's most likely why the transmission messed up. The shock seems to destroy transmissions as well as third member.

    well, i cant find a decent mini spool for this truck, so i geuss i'll see how long she'lll last. the sub lasted almost 2 years with the magnacharger, and blissfully ignorant me beating on it almost every time i drove it. now that i know they cant take that kinda crap, i'll be easier on it..... mmm well i'll try. but if it can last a few months i'll have the dough to get a eaton or detroit, i freakin love the detroit in my sub. transitions from open to lock like butter. and when you get the tail out on a suburban.....well its kinda scary......scary and fun.....but mostly scary.

    zeake you should really get that meth kit installed i swear i feel like 40-50hp difference when i my tank runs out. and i get knock too, but the sub's not intercooled. when im boosting and its spraying i can watch the IAT temps on the scanmaster actually stop climbing and start falling, while im boosting.
