Spent the morning on the hoist and ripped everything out. I drained the diff first and that oil came out silver, not feeling too great about that. Since I didn't hear anything about the wheel bearings I chose to throw a 1" bolt in there, center it as best as I could and torque to spec. I guess the diff is going to spend most of the summer in the shed until I decide to get it looked at. Next on the list is trying to find the best price on jba's in Canada.

Also headers are what, 2.5" and factory piping is 2? I wanted to add to that, aside from being able to bolt on, I'd be ok with that set up without the uprev for a bit? What are you guys using to monitor the A/F ratio? I have access to a scan tool that I'm pretty sure had data log so I'm assuming that would work.headers will bolt up to your factory Bpipes (mid pipes), you just obviously won't get the full benefits of your upgrade until you do add them.
I saw a set on Amazon for about 680 and I think those were stainless long tubes. 6400s right? I'm much happier looking at doing that job with my front diff out. MIGHT be okIf you are an Amazon prime member I would look on there, I seen the coated jba for under 600 the other day. The 304 was just over 800.
Silver oil is bad news :frown:
I got my JBA headers for 495 shipped. Having the front drive out really helped with the install.
I dug up one or two posts that said that, and that was it. That's pretty much the decision I made though, it's always spinning anyway...
I'm glad I bolted mine just for that reason at least, one step further would have been to add a bit of grease in there I guess.
I guess I could throw a new seal in it and let it sit full for awhile until I get headers put in, I just don't know what excessive is? I think off the top of my head it was maybe a half inch total from one way to the other? The solid silver looking oil is another concern I have but I didn't see chunks or any obvious damage...?

Yes sir.495 shipped in US funds right?
Yes sir.
. It went well this morning, it was tough to make sure I got that right. After that I fff'd up and didn't realize that I'd barely be able to get onto the rear bolt of the two that tighten downwards on each side. I think I realize now that they maybe didn't need to get loosened, just the four into the block. Didn't know that. So the front one is tight and currently the rear bolt has been replaced with a 3/8 bolt and locknut from the bottom up. Thinking I'm going to improve on that when I do a torque check on the headers. I bought the pipes up north and and getting catted pipes and uprev from the Cajun boys. I'm really happy to have done the headers though. I thought I was replacing for a drivers side crack but as stated here previously, much worse. Both sides had gasket leaks and both sides had huge cracks. So sad, they seem like they have better "flow" to them than most factory manifolds.
