Rear Diff Gear Change
I am in the middle of pulling out the differential. I have the cradle dropped and about to remove the diff. I have gear whine at 70+ mph and the leaky butt. I am going to use 3.73 gears, but what should I look for when purchasing gears? Does anyone have a recommended brand?

Can't go wrong with motive gears. Motive is the most popular choice. I found a set on jawsgear real cheap. You should definitely replace the belleville washers and clutches while you're in there. If the washers aren't broken, they will be soon, and broken peices may call for another rebuild. Practically all of them fail. The bearings are probably fine w 28k, but i'd check closely for scoring.
