Well, if your looking for decent front brake pads, we have the cmax ones. Real nice and quiet. Though I busted something with the parking brake recently. Have to add that to the list of littler things. Speaking of which, whose handy with wiring? Sadly I have an electric seat,windows, and locks. All act up. Help would be much appreciated.

Sounds like you have a short in the wiring somewhere. Or the switch is going out. Follow the wires from the switch to the device you are trying to troubleshoot. If the wires are cut/cracked/frayed, then cut it where it's damaged and re-splice together. MAKE SURE to DISCONNECT the battery, or you'll have blown fuses.

When you do the gears in the diffs you're supposed to replace the shims and bearings at the same time. I ordered a master shim kit from 4wheel parts for 90$ each. I had to buy a new carrier also. The carrier for the 3:55's (my stock gear ratio) is too small for the 4:10's. if you have 3:73's you don't need to get a new carrier, it will fit higher numerical gears.

The new carrier is for the Dana 30 front axle.

Oh, I still have stock gears at 3:55, but I would love to smooth out the ride in mine haha. I appreciate it tho, thanks. Hopefully I'll get 4:10s eventually..
