I ordered up a few parts that I will be installing soon.


First is: Diff Armor, Large, 120006-1-KIT


Second is: Silicone Radiator Hose Kit, 22RE, 180085-1-KIT

I replaced the 3 radiator hoses with silicone ones. The better angle of hose allowed for less kink and more air into tb do to body lift so had to de-fuel it a little bit more for better start and idle. Runs better.


I also installed a better 120a single wire alternator to replace the factory 60a one.


Here are some pics.
