    Guys spend thousands to install AWD. Here it's factory equipped and it'es being removed!! Get an Astro AWD Xfer case and use the viscous coupling. No low range but you'll have handling and traction that other trucks die for.
    I know some of the diesel guys at our track run in 4wd so they don't spin the tires halfway down the track.

    Ya. The fast diesels make so much torque around the 60' mark it's amazing. I tried catching one in my little Sunbird once and all I saw was a cloud of black smoke before the truck disappeared. Absolutely amazing the amount of torque it takes to move a 6500# truck to a 12 second trap.

    Looks like i broke either the transfer case or something in the front axle, maybe a CV joint. I took the front driveshaft out and the noise went away for about a week, now its back and getting worse. So i will be pulling the front axle out and looking for a 2wd 4l80 trans or maybe a th400/th350 to swap in. The suburban is coming along with its tune so i can start getting this thing running like it should.
