Working on installing the new rear axle for my truck. Guy said it had a full carrier detroit and 4.10s. I was a little disappointed to see that it only had 3.55s, but it's not too big of a deal. Saves me from going through the trouble of swapping out the front third member for the one I have with 4.10s. Brakes were seized up on the new axle, so I pulled the axle all the way apart, sanded it down a bit, repainted it, and swapped on the brakes from my axle. Diff cover is drying right now. Will be putting it all back together and back under the truck here in a bit.

Overall, not a bad score for $150.

Is it an illusion or is that black housing bent?

You're actually not the first person who thought that. Its just an illusion. I got worried the first time it was pointed out on a local forum, and hauled ass outside to make sure.
