Default Diff build up.... Help me out guys!

I've got a 3.42 3 rib diff I bought off teddy a few months ago. I'm looking to address the obvious weak areas in the diff. I'm not looking for a all out bullet proof diff, more of a budget minded build. The diff is known to have lower miles, and whine free. Now, what's my best bang for the buck as far parts for this thing.

1,2,3 GO!!!

What this guy said.

Get them from Gene @ GMPartshouse

Best prices and fast shipping.

I just ordered these items for my new diff.

Do a search in this section on diff rebuild. You'll find the part numbers in a thread by It's Go Time.

These ought to help.

I'm going to do it myself, but with 300m parts from DTE as I will be drag racing my car quite a lot.

Here are all the cool differential post that I have . The C6 build up works well for the cost of the parts.
