C5 4.10 Rear End Installation Instructions???
Anyone have information on how to install a 4.10 rear end assembly. I have one dealership telling me 4 hours and a "supposedly more experienced" dealer telling me 8 hours. The more experienced dealer tells me that the rear end has to be re-aligned. Does the computer need reprogramming? Thanks for any assistance - Lost in Tampa.

I can install the rear in about 3 hours. Its pretty easy and straight forward.
1) drain fluids
2) remove rear wheels
3) drop H or X pipe
4) drop rear mufflers
5) unhook shocks, e brake cable, tie rods
6) drop rear crossmember while supporting tranny
7) lower tranny to reference point
8) remove and install new rear carrier
9) reinstall is reverse from removal

on my web page is a link to an excellent step-by-step article about doing just that. They go as far as removing the torque-tube from the rear of the engine... but if its just the carrier; then you don't even need to do that.

Hey C5Noir,
Not that I'm an expert but I would think with your setup, you should be in the 11's ET. (esp with 125 NO2) - What kind of tires were you racing with? BTW - How did you like the 4.10 mod?
