Re: Por-15, it does perform as advertised and will inhibit rust. I've even
used it with fiberglass cloth - it makes a very strong patch. But it has a
couple of negatives in addition to adhering to skin. A) It's pretty
expensive and B) even if you are careful to tightly seal the unused portion,
using saran wrap as they suggest, it's already started curing and will likey
be unusable in a few months. Don't buy more than you need.
Patrick's 3.55 gearset: A quality item, if you want to stay with the torque
tube. It will improve highway performance by lowering RPM about 15% at the
same speed. Professional installation is recommended unless you've done this
kind of work before.
The reality of the "Classic Truck" mags is that they are there mainly to
serve their advertisers. They have little or no credibility (in my opinion).
