Tim, I've currently got the 3.55 LSD in my truck...Just looking for some
more low end grunt is all. Thanks for the info. I've got a pretty decent
bonus check coming...although it might go to help me get everything sorted
out for my move out of the parent's house.... Hopefully I'll be able to
squeeze some DAK toys in there too. :)
