Did you notice if it was somewhat not as easy to turn? When I was driving home today I thought I might have noticed it was a little.

I found a local transmission shop close by with all 5 star reviews. Gonna probably take it there tomorrow and get a quote. How much do you think they would charge me to add 4.10 gears since they are already gonna be working on it anyway?

Found a d60 with limited+4:10's(I'm a 3/4 ton v8) with about 100k less on it,very little slip in the yoke, for $200. Guy couldn't even give it away. No way I was gonna find parts for that cheap

Remind me what was the issue with your axle? And do you still have it?
They arent even a year old though. And they are specific with my kit.
You going to reuse head studs too?

That could be caused by issues with the LSD like Mark said.

If you regear the rear, you'll have to regear the front too. Most shops are ~1000 per axle, plus whatever parts your rear axle needs

Same cost. Gear sets don't change in price too much. All I'm saying is it'll be double the cost of fixing it if you choose to regear.
