I have an 85 k10. I've noticed in 4wd it hops like a **** and lately a really horrible noise has been coming from the front pumpkin. I only put it in 4wd twice because it doesn't take a genius to figure out I have the wrong gear ratio. I pulled the front cover and no metal shavings in the fluid, but there was some idk how else to describe it but burnt on carbon on the diff cover in patches. If that makes sense.. The front ratio is different and I need to put a 3.08 ring and pinion in the front. I've heard its pretty difficult to get all the shims lined up correctly and it isn't going to be a cake walk by any means. But has anyone ever changed ring gears in the front end of these k10's? If so help and tips would be more than appreciated.
