Id say its good news ! Basically means the motor doesn't have to come out . A new timing job will get you another 100k easily and if you want to sell it will boost value as the Achilles heel of the 3.5 has been addressed. Make sure all parts are the most recent fail proof iteration . Whatever...
Rear diff and tcase super easy. Front diff kinda sucks and the trans will be cumbersome without lift and scan tool. You can thread in a transfer pump into
Dipstick location and suck out most of the fluid in the pan to
Drop it.
Torsen unit could be binding. Which will not cause metal shavings. Thats my guess. How much drag when turning?
Contrary to a lot of people here I would never run 4 a all the time on dry surfaces. Beside I like spinning the rear out in the rain too.
This sentence makes this thread baffling. 13.5 wides are pointless if you drive 99% street. More unsprung weight, more rolling resistance creating slower acceleration, stopping and fuel milage. less agile , slower suspension cycle, louder, harder to balance. More stress on ball joints and other...
Sounds like a phaseer is bad, the chain is stretched , or it jumped time. Hopefully not enough to score the piston with the valve. Assuming its the former, its a 2-3 day timing job and you should be gtg. Sorry to hear man!
Why do you need a bov adaptor?
I bet you have a boost leak and the truck is pulling time and fuel because its not getting the air it wants vs throttle angle etc.
