Connected the battery, fired it up and took it for a quick rip. Got it sideways a few times, even a few unintentional times.

A little but really rather annoying how easily it gets sideways. It never was like that with the old motor.

Passing cars at 80 was getting a little scary.

I also found out that the rear differential is leaking on the truck. I think its the seal where the driveshaft goes in. I was going to change the fluid soon anyway so its not a huge deal.

Yeah, pretty sure is. I thought it was the cover gasket at first but after looking at it again I noticed its wet around the front of the housing.

I also found out the truck has the 9.75" rear and not the 8.8".

no… not in the TBSS… you have to tap and reroute lines from the BCM through a relay and that disables them and allows the auto headlights to still work…

Yeah, it runs great. A little rich but it always has ran rich.

Its got good tires on it but they break loose easily.

I put it back in the garage for now because I already had my truck there and I needed my truck this afternoon.
