    Not really concerned. So long as I drive it reasonably.

    I have seen properly specd drive lines eat themselves all day long and others you just scratch your head and wonder why the still work.

    Drive it reasonable and it will do just fine. The carrier failed for reasons other than the torque level. The input yoke was adjusted as soon as I got home last year. We believe the damage had been done there as we'll as a ride height that wasn't correct for how long. All critical to the power divider as well.

    Cans = Containers ? If so quit hauling them, they are horrible for fuel mileage, also...why a midroof?
    Probably should have made your own post instead of bumping an unrelated post from someone else.

    Rerm mine is being in a storage for about a year or so but couple month before I parked. I took it this place in effingham il. And they play with the ecm. What ever they did to it work out for the better. Engine become verry power full and Average mile p/g went up from 3.5mpg to 7.2mpg even though I beleive the culprit has not being corrected. Their name is Deisel Doctor check them out.
    I thought it may help you.
