When upgrading gears...what do you need exactly?
Is it just the gears, detroit trutrack (decided to go with that over the t-lok) and the bearing kit? Anything else I should get?

just under three, it really doesnt make a differance cause your supposed to change the rear end in ~1000 miles after you got it rebuilt and you need a tuner to adjust the speedo

yea change the fluid after 1000k or so of driving to get anything out of it (just to be safe, you dont HAVE to) and dont forget the three heat cycles to break them in, and really any gear oil (believe its 75w-90) will work pretty much the same

I just got my gears done and they said to do it the right way you should get the gears the install kit, 2.5 quarts of lube and a notched cross pin. The stock cross pin can be grinded down but that would cause them to become weaker.
