DTE Differential Strut package question
1. Did your kit come with any installation instructions (besides the bolt torque specifications)?
2. Did your kit come with a parts list?
I got mine yesterday, and it came with neither. I would at least like to know if a I have all of the parts that I am supposed to before I start trying to install it. It would be nice to have directions, as I was told by the girl there that answers the phone that it would come with them (she supposedly asked Phil).
Thanks,

Mine didn't come with instructions, torque specs, or parts list. Just a box with a bunch of parts. It's very straight forward.
Phil told me to use factory torque specs on everything, +5ft/lbs. Also, the rods should be tightened 1.25" turns after everything is assembled. Oh, and stack 3 washers behind the transmission side braces to properly space them.
I just did mine this past weekend.
Dope

Put mine on the same time as my 4:10 Diff. swap. You can double check the bracket placement by looking on the DTE site.

It's gotta be a pretty big biatch to do in the car!
