Default HELP FAST! Ordering 3:42 from Fred beans!

I ordering a 3:42 Diff from fred beans, but wanted to make sure I was ordering the right piece. When I put in the part number "12572683"
this is the description I get:

"Mechanical Catalog - Chevrolet/Geo
Universals & rear axle - Rear axle - Carrier CARRIER, Corvette, Manual Trans, M12 (LS6) 2001 - 2004 "

Can someone please verify I am not screwing this up! All I have to do is hit the buy button and I am done. This is for a 98 C5 (A4).

I'm not sure about that part #. What you do want is a Z06 3.42 diff..
There are two choices.

That is the part number that I purchased from them in October. It is the Z06 3.42 differential. Fantastic mod.
Good Luck

Although that is the correct part number, you can always call gene or email him... always have your Vin # number handy..Either Gene or Jeremy will wow you with their service.They also have the best prices for genuine GM parts.

If it makes your eyes pop out of your head, then you are easily pleased.... it is a nice mod over the 2:73 gears. But eye popping, is and should be up there with the first time you got laid.
Will you like the gears?? absolutly...but eye popping???? Naaaaaaaaaaa
it may give you an erection though
I hope this helps to put things in perspective.
Good luck, OH and bring towels on the first test drive.

If you are going through the trouble and expense of putting in new gears why not get a 3.90 or 4.10? Do that and a shift kit and then your talkin!
