    manual or automatic

    Reverse gear Auto 3.22 Manual 3.61 V6 Yeah that rear gear is jacked up for manual however as Whip stated "personal preference". I have no complaint with reverse. It is what it is. I didn't design it. I don't tow anything but am setup for it. I usually only shift using 1st, 3rd, 5th then...

    Broke Drive Shaft

    Whip, sounds like he has 2 3/4 in block lift and running 33's. That should not cause a driveshaft to break. I've never seen a driveshaft break only u-joints blow out. I agree u-joints on a 4x4 are serviceable. I lube mine every gear oil change, ie 30,000 miles. He doesn't state how many...

    Hard shifting

    Change the fluid. Switch over to synthetic, should clear up your grinding issue. At least it did mine. Went from Dino to RP no more grinds for me since. Shifts alot smoother as well. 6 spd transmission oil should be changed every 30,000 miles. Shift it like a truck...slow & deliberate. Not...
