    Looks great! I like the paint color choices. You can always fix the paint, wet sand, polish, touch up, repaint a section, etc. The new final drive should be fine.

    Should be proud ! Dude it looks like a complete different RV,,The wife rocked out the interior and I was amazed at how bad a job they did on fixing this inside especially the plumbing !! Great job sir ! And I cant believe how quiet it is inside while driving ,,,

      Thanks Steve, I will show your comment to Michelle. It is quite, its like a little house pod that floats wherever you want it to go. The driving feel is nothing like a truck based motorhome. I see you have a guitar and amp posted for your picture. Check out my guitar shop, google Atomic Music in Beltsville, Md. We have over 1000 used guitars… Thanks

    Maybe you covered it in the vid, I may have missed it, but what gear oil did you use in the final drive?

      Since I used the same carrier I just used the standard recommended gear oil, but synthetic. There is a posi option you can get and that oil would be different. I have gone on several trips since then and changed the oil a couple times to see what it looked like but always clean. Thanks!

    What RPMs did you get on the highway? Any changes to fuel economy?

      I keep it under 3k, it goes about 68 mph at 3k so I cruise at 60mph mpg not sure …

    I know those bolts are difficult even without having to remove the diff.
    Had to remove and replace a drivers side exhaust manifold bolts on a Toronado and needed to remove the dip stick retaining bolt. Awkward and tight is how to describe this.
