4.10 Nitro gears going in today and tomorrow.
Factory set had a surprising amount of wear!I Like more wear than we typically see when regearing our 200k mileage 80 series Land Cruisers, which was a little alarming. My hunch is the lift and tires over the last 6,000 miles coupled with using "auto" 4x4 frequently on wet or slick pavement through the winter. One of the local 4x4 shops told my buddy to stay away from the "auto" setting on his Tahoe Premier with 6" inch lift, and to just use 4hi as needed in snow or dirt. And I will say, it did growl a bit in the auto selection on the freeway. I just figured it was more the drive shaft and planned on going double cardan. My hunch is that it was ******* the rear gears. So I will probably stay away from the dummy switch and dedicate 2 or 4 wheel based on conditions.
Rear needed one adjustment at install.
