Got my new Speedmaster LS6 intake in today. Looks really nice and hopefully will clear the hood

Acquired a year old QuickDraw LS to AX15 adapter kit from one of my buddies. It uses a stock 6.0 clutch setup and flywheel which are on order as well as the pilot bearing

Very rad! Whats the gear ratio in the new rear axle?

Pretty sure it is 3.55 which matches the front but I need to pop it open and check as it doesn’t have a tag on it. Worst case I’ll just regear the front to match whatever the rear is

Old 4.0 is out as of this morning and I got the engine bay cleaned up. Novak engine mounts are installed. Going to bolt the ax15 up to the engine tomorrow hopefully and get it set in its new home

Had a few issues today. The QuickDraw kit is designed for the newer AX15 and won’t work with out of the box stuff with the older one from what I see. Luckily I had a backup plan which was the factory manual zj. After looking more it’s a rusty pos so I no longer feel bad about pulling the trans out of it. Going to clean it up tomorrow and hopefully get it bolted up to

the engine. Clutch is on and one of the perks of this QuickDraw kit is it uses all off the shelf parts which will help down the road

Mostly cleaned the transmission and transfer case up today. Didn’t do a great job but they are under the truck so it’ll be okay. Got it all bolted up to the engine and hopefully I’ll be able to set it in tomorrow
