RE: 3.73 Gears
Yea, they dont cost much but having them installed, buying a good installation kit, filling it with good oil, new gaskets, buying and installing speedo gear, etc. can cost alot.
All said and done after I bought everything and paid for installation it came to over a thousand dollars. I did put a TA Performance girdle cover on though
If you buy used stuff you can do it alot cheaper but i bought everything brand new and paid $400 dollars for all isntallation. And thats WITHOUT rebuilding the trac-lok. Price it out before you get ahead of yourself.

I never like to buy used gears cause you reall have to set them back up the way they were and get the set up parralled to the old wear pattern....cause if your off the rear end will sing

RE: 3.73 Gears
My gears still hum....... after paying tons of cash to have them isntalled. About two day after I got them installed I took the car back and they checked it out and said that there was nothing they could do about it... its pretty low though so its not that big of a deal.
