Default 8.8 rear end in my future

I was scrolling the hampton roads craigslist pages and came across a 8.8 axle out of an '05 with 4.10's for $350 so I jumped all over it. Gonna go look at it during the midweek and hopefully I will no longer have any gear whine and the first step in my switch to 8 cylinders.
