starkmaster03 Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yeah, they were sort of a spur of the moment purchase. Display model at Summit in their clearance section. I wasn't looking for any at the time but I couldn't let that be passed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 This is why you never dump a penny into those rears, and save all of that cash towards a good rear (so many bolt-in choices for the 4th Gen...8.8, 9", 12-bolt, Dana) Yeah yeah yeah.

starkmaster03 Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I got the rear end back together and it's sound better than the last one, but now there is a rattle in the valve train. I'm thinking that I need to replace the lifters. I've replaced the springs and push rods here recently and the rattling goes away after a little driving. I'm thinking that it is a lifter that collapses and then oils up after the engine is running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
