So last week I ended up cancelling my conversion parts order as I figured if I'm gonna have to wait, then I should at least see what the prices will be at my LHS and online. This weekend I went to my LHS to see what they knew and there it was all by its lonesome, begging to find a home 
, a SCTE 2.0 kit. Needless to say I broke down and bought the kit. I already have almost all of the hopups that I was working on for my 1.0, and will now add to my 2.0 as backups. I tried gluing the 55 pistons and think the smaller aluminum 4-40 nuts work better in case the glue cap is to large. I had to clear off and apply a new glue cap on a couple of holes after I tightened down the steel lock nut; the aluminum lock nut has a smaller contact patch on the piston. I'm also going to try the M2C Racing pistons as well. I'm not sure what weight oil to try, so any input on that is appreciated (SoCal indoor; SDRC). I'm leaning towards 27.5 up front and 30 in the rear.

It shouldnt have a tight spot, if it does, pull it all out and make sure the bottom sun gear is fully seated with that pin.

Yeah a mini lock nut should work fine for holding on the piston. Ryan no I have tried the M2C pistons but they look interseting. I would start with what they suggested and run 27.5.Some others have noticed the same thing. I am not sure what it is. My car had a similar issue. I would just run it and let the gears break in. That is what I did and things have freed up fine.

It when i bolt the tranny halves together....i checked for small debris etc...when i rotate both outdrives together… about 90° of rotation feels bound up or tight...the other 270° feels free...oh well...onward and upward!!!! By the way this is my first tlr build so keep by those computers and smart phones!!!! Thanks!!

Oh that is not right. Mine had one spot that felt high. Not 1/4 of the rotation. There is either something not seated properly. Check to make sure you got the outdrive bearings on all they way. They are a tight fit now.
another customer fitting into the bizz model???

Dude- I know you have been a loyal customer and we apprecaite the support but this was not the business model and TLR has worked hard to have prompt parts support with kit releases. There was a hiccup with this release and the parts were not shipped with the kit. TLR is working hard to get the parts here as soon as they can and get them out there. There is nothing devious going on here and they are not trying to screw the end user and force them to get a kit instead of buying upgrade parts. The business model is to sell kits and parts. Margins a little better on parts then kits. They don't care how you get your parts. In a kit or piece parts. Peice it together or buy a kit? I understand you are frustrated and we all want you to have your parts so you can upgrade you truck but give it a rest!
The pins that secure the outdrives to the diff case and the pins that are used for the clamping hexes are the same part so you get 4 in the bag for the front and rear ends. It is not super clear as you see the 4 pins and build the diffs first and use two and then the axles many steps later to use the other two but that is where these pins go. Does that help?

When they say 2 hole 55 pistons do they mean the 4 hole 55's w/2 holes filled?
