Coe. Being you have a pretty much stock vehicle, I dont htink you will have an issue. I just did some research on Pirate4x4 and lots of Racers just slap them together and go racing without failure. I think the biggest thing is Overstressing but I doubt you will. Take it and drive it for 15-20 miles and let the diff cool (say overnight). Vary speed while driving and latch to your boat and go hunting. Go home to do your work week thang, then change the oil after 500 miles and have fun.

Thanks Marcus.

The truck is over in Katy which is 15 minutes from my house. So should get initial break in once I pick the truck up.

I have an extra truck I can use but would much rather drive & use my truck to take the boat out Saturday or Sunday.

Picked the truck up a few hours ago. She's running good. Already on my 2nd heat cycle. The mechanic did 1 last night ~ 20mi and I just brought it to the office for another 20. Oh, I'll add the pictures of the carnage... The reason I couldn't move the truck more than 3' was that one of the spider gears wedged itself between the pinion. Luckily I had him replace everything because there were some teeth missing on the pinion. 75% of his work is on Chevy 10 or 12 bolts.

My buddy at Hurricane Offroad calls himself a Z-71 Repair Specialist due to the amount of 10 bolt rebuild he does.
