So... I am pretty sure I have an issue.

I should mention that I just saw a pair on my way to work today and felt embarrased for the guy in the truck.

the housing kit seems good, but than you will need the bearing kit, axle seals, and lube, than you will need to check what spline your axles are running. there is a lot to a rear end. also what you do to the back, might as well do to the frt. and than after 500 miles, you need to rip it apart again. inspect the system and put new fluid back in.

i am no changing gears... i like the 392s... and the front doesnt really ge used other than some winter driving. i just hate an open differential... i am not going for heavy duty off road or race parts... just something durable.

i am leaning towards just letting the guy do it and paying him. but i dont want to get taken to the cleaners either. if it was a motor issue... i could do it myself. but i have never had to work on my own differentials befor. i am not too proud to admit that. but i am too leary of paying for crap i dont need...

Thats what happens to alot of ppl, they get screwed cause they dont know. Around here tires seem to be the thing that most get screwed on... the salesman prays on ppl who think they need the highest priced tire even if it is crap.

see, i dont really know the guy all that well. he used to wor with my dad and has done work for him on the side. he put a new rear end in the plow truck and he put a new rear in my cousins silverado before he sold it... he is a nice enough guy... but atthe same time... i dont really know him. my dad does... i kinda wish i would have bee able to do it myself... then it takes the guess work out. oh well i guess. taxes are 2 or 3 weeks out.. i suppose that gives me time to find the parts.
