Hydrashocker, my rear differential got warm during the break in period but no burning hot. I stayed under 2000 rpm for the first 500 miles along with staying under 45mph for the first 200 miles/under 60mph for the next 200 miles/under 70mph for the last 100 miles.
Also, my tires measure 33" (not 32.8" like 285 tires) and my mileage hasn't changed but the power is awesome. I can actually scoot down the highway at 70 mph and it will stay in overdrive when I go up hills.
You should be able to find local shops that will change the gears for $600-700.
The dealer told me $900 for both axles just a few months ago with a 1 year warranty.
That is just for labor.
If the shop you take it to wants to charge a penny over $900 then go to the dealer.

Alldata says its a 10 hour job to do front and rear. Most shops charge $60+ an hour. Although i have a hard time believing it will take 10 hours to do it. Alldata says balljoints should take 6-8 hours, i did all 4 of mine in less than 3. BUT i dont have the knowledge or tools or time to do a ring and pinion, so I have to pay someone else to do it.
