Not Ranked
If you are going to pull all that out, you may want to reconsider the gear ration of the rear as well. I think most were usuing 3.73 ratio that is a little tall for most guys liking. I put mine to 331s and some guys even do 327s and like them. I can say changing was great for me. I had my guy put an Eaton posi unit in mine, he said it is bullet proof (he does a lot of 4x4 stuff here locally). there are a couple recalls you should check out too, one about the axel nut coming loose and a seconda about A arm misalignments....depending on your car number. Earlier cars apparently had problems snapping the passanger side diff mounts on some of the early cars as well. I had the diff gone through, changed gears, and all the bearings changed (kept the same shafts) and had the whole thing redon and it went for 1200 parts and labor. I have also read/heard that this diff does make noise that some dealers and service guys say is normal. I have never had sounds that I know of, pretty loud car. My bearings were toast on both sides and I had broken an A arm bolt which gave me a little wild shimmy and a shake at times. thought it was front end problems or tire balance, but turned out to be ass end weirdness. lots of help here, so keep asking questions and check those more common problems first
