You just need the gears (Motive is fine), the basic install kit, and two quarts of 80/90 gear oil. Check thunder racing. You may want the SLP paddle kit as well for 4:10s.

What is the SLP paddle kit? What does it do? I was thinking of doing 4:10s, I am also getting a list of things together I will need. I was going to get a TA cover not sure but you might want to put that on your list 2001ws6.

You do not need the paddle kit unless you have a Torsen differential. What differential do you have?

I am not positive, but I think it will be listed on the door as a code.

I believe in 99 that only Firehawks had the option of the Auburn, you prolly have the Torsen (one or the other). I still wouldn't pay the money for that SLP paddle kit tho.

Does anyone have a pic of a paddle that isn't ground and a pic of a ground paddle. I have access to mills and grinders. I just need to see what kind of work is involved in grinding your own paddles.
