AAM is known for a truetrac LS, bet thats it. But that would not require a friction modifier being all gears?

Yep, I have gone off brand the last couple times, so far so good.

This neighbor is a retired lineman and his wife is a registered nurse. He helped me set all the walls on the big shop and is always willing to lend a hand. The tile went about 100’ across his property to the culvert under his driveway. So I had his approval to install this and it benefits him some as well. He had one low spot that retained water which we ran the tile directly thru. With my property up stream and giving me issues I thought it only fair to pay the bill if he allowed me to fix the issue in the best manner for both of us.

On the other side of him are two new neighbors which are having a meadowlark (same manufacturer as ours) cabin built currently. They should be moved in around 8 weeks from now. Those two have been married 30 years and he started his navy career in the back seat of a Tomcat. I met both of them this past week. They are mid 50’s and seem like very nice people. They had to get out of Colorado as well.
Make sure you invite that Navee pilut to join our group here. He can take up the cause of defending that rusty boat, barnacle-encrusted glorified tug boat service which was created to transport the United States Armee to distant locations and to make us sandwiches while we are there...
That ought to get him going...

That LS looks good in there. I liked the nittos on the Tahoe, but now they are $300+ each! Got the 4 prinx for $700 delivered.

I was using Valvoline before, but found the Lucas a bit cheaper by the gallon when I got for the excavator and have stuck with it. Has a great rep.
JR-I was using Simple Tire forever, but lately, as in my last couple of sets of tires, Walmart is coming in cheaper. These Toyos of mine which are tall/skinny and would be ideal for the Tahoe were $273 ea.

My best guess is that limited slip is in fact a torsen helical cut gear locker. I’m sure Tate will chime in but if it is then it’s a beast…..
Yea, as per our conversation last night, this is interesting.
Tate, you hearing this?
I see that for 3500 only, Ram is requiring you to add a friction modifier. When I looked at that huge diff, I thought the clutch packs must slide down in there somehow, but I have to agree with Shawn, it reminded me of a Torsen.
Someone??? Let's solve this mystery.

Sam, my hearing doc told me the 357 is the hardest on the hearing of most any caliber. I can hardly hear without aids and they only help a little.
Funny part is, with all the shooting I have done, the 357 is probably the least shot of anything in the safe. Hearing protection is a great thing to use but in my younger years hardly anyone wore them including me. Can’t say my hearing is gone because of shooting but it didn’t help.

I’ll agree with you Bob. 
It packs a heck of a report.
My 300 is probably louder to me, but may actually not be.
I’ve lost a lot of my hearing as well.
Some from shooting.
Some from woodworking.
Some from work.
Don’t need aids at this point but don’t have a lot left before I do.

I wish I lost all my hearing from your list, but it went the way of rotor blades and turbine engines
Same, but J57 water burners and TF 33 did mine in. 24 years of working around aircraft and let me not forget those wonderful cart starts

I don't know if it would help at those temperatures or with the wind. I had ordered one of Pit Boss insulated blankets for my smoker and works great. Cut down cold weather smoking time and pellet use a bunch. Check the Pit Boss website. Sometimes, they have them on sale for like 40-50% off

I’ve been looking at them and think to a point it would help.
The wind was the killer the other day.
When it just gets too cold it will still need to come into the warm.

Made a quick trip to Wyoming to get some cattle and got food poisoning. That was week ago and I'm still not right. Seen some interesting country and learned a few back roads.
