This needs no explanation other than I'm glad I'm doing away with it cause I'd stab my eyes out if I had to put a new one back in!!

Ha! I'll be doing the same thing Rex, only on a first gen (with a 2nd gen engine). My little fitting came in from Summit.

Now to find time to install it ....

how hard was it to install once you got the old lines off? I just got my lines replaced and if they start leaking again I don't want to have to do it again.

To be honest I don't even have it installed yet lol!! I ran out of time to get the rest of the lines and adapter out of the way so I left it for today and then when I got under there I decided I didn't want to go through the hassle of loosening a motor mount and all to get it out so I started to take the front diff out since it needs to come out anyway. I have it unbolted and hanging there but I once again ran out of time to pop the ball joints and get the cv's out of the way so the diff can come out so hopefully I will get that done tomorrow. But to answer your question its really easy once the old crap is outta the way

Not yet but I will and then swap it when I do my first lube change after the gears break in.
