You are right on point on the spare tire.. I hated my life trying to take out the tire .after that .I just didn't put the tire back

Be careful. If you have the factory posi carrier, synthetic fluid will ruin clutch packs inside. It requires non-synthetic mineral fluid with a frictin modifier. I have an 06 ext. QA1 has a tubular panhard bar for about $120 sold at summit. Gives you more clearance because it's bent over the cover, and stifens up the rear end nicely. Put one on mine 2 weeks ago. Also, I'm guessing you must be up north somewhere. Mine doesn't have any where near as much rust. I just hit 200k a few days ago. I also put a deeper finned aluminum summit pan. I definitely notice trans temps down and take longer to get hot. You have to loosen the catalytic converter Y-pipe to gain enough clearance tho.

My 07 Yukon Denali with the g80 limited slip rear doesn't require the friction modifier.
