Never re-added lube after first change. Royal Purple has additive in it so you dont really have to. Ive got about 2k more before shes ready for another change and I dont plan on adding the lube just chaning the RP.

I ordered the TA Performance 10-bolt Rear End Support with the stud kit (8/8).
Plus the Royal Purple 75W90 Synthetic gear oil.
The Rear is being delivered Wednesday (8/10).

Re: Changing a standard rear to a Limited Slip

I just ordered some nuts and bolts to replace the existing ones since I'm swaping out the 3.08 standard for a 3.42 LSD.

This is the list of items that I'm replacing:
2 Lower control arm bolts, washers & nuts
2 torque arm bolts, washers, & nuts

Stabilizer shaft (sway bar) parts:
2 insulator clamps, nuts, u-bolts, shaft insulators, and rod brackets
2 shaft nuts, bolts, spacer, plus all bushings

2 Rear coil spring upper insulators

1 Tie rod bolt and nut

I will try out the 3.42 first and swap out for the higher gears (3.73) at a later date and re-run it to see the difference.

If you have any other items that should be replaced while the rear is out, just tag them on.
