Installing the New Differential in the #FairmontProject
It s finally come time to install the new 8.8 differential in the #FairmontProject. There were only a couple of snags along the way. For the most part this seemed to go pretty smoothly. Much easier than setting it up. You can also do this job on the ground with floor jacks and jack stands. I d recommend 2 floor jacks and a level surface. I have a LOT of links for this video so I m going to keep this part of the description short. If you decided to do this job, good luck. Otherwise, thanks for watching!
