welp, just giving an update i guess. got yukon 3.73 gears installed today. i'm comfortable doing a lot of work, but ring and pinion just scares me. discount is HUGE when you only gotta do 1 axle! (i'm used to 4x4's). i strongly considered 4.10's, but i am building this wagon for towing. 70 mph in drive with 4.10's just ran a higher rpm than i wanted.
anyhow, with 200,000 miles on the factory tired motor, i can powerbrake with no issues now.
all new seals and bearings in the rear axle as well. now i need to figure out the right speedo gear for it. planning on replacing the speedo cable at the same time as it squeaks and drives me CRAZY!
next on the list is u-joints and start looking at rebuilding the motor.
oh, and so far i've got all the windows working, door locks working, AC working, and replaced the stereo so i have some tunes. lots more work to go but having a good time!
