OK, Hope you all can recall when I was changing gear ratios to 3.54. Maybe not. It was my second try at that and maybe the first came out so well that I got cocky and figured, ah what can go wrong? I've got this licked! And went ahead and screwed it up. "Pride goeth before a fall!" So anyway, I had the driveline all connected and the brakes were loose enough (no bind there). I thought it was with transmission, two gears at once! Any way you figured it, she was jammed tight! It's pretty much boiled down (for me anyway) to a jammed ring gear or a locked up pinion. Any suggestions?
