RPM Tranny Diff SWAP !!
I bought the complete RPm transmissions Tranny and diff package.
Real nice stuff and RPm was first class all the way and answering any questions ETC.
I swapped it out ' today at my Buddy's shop[ myself
Took me around 9 hrs.
I took my time and marked everything and torqued everything to a T.
Also use royal purple syncromax in the tranny and the royal purple gear oil in the diff.
I have a bunch of pics i need to get out of my phone and upload.
It was not bad i followed some of the other forum members instructions.
I did not drop the torque tube.
The hardest part was getting the pin out of the shift linkage between the torque tube read and the tranny.
and their getting it back in on the new one
All and all not bad
I was just glad to have free rein of my Buddy's tranny shop with all of his lifts and jacks
I can imagine doing it on the floor

Thanks for the info
I am in the same boat as far as HP and just purchased a NX system, looking to give it a 150 shot, hoping for 550 or better at the wheel but a bit concerned about the diff and tranny
We will see
