I have to agree with LXXLr8r in reference to preferring 4.10's. but if not then maybe next month right? Well I just got done doing mine about a month ago. talk about a bittch. Someone had been in there already screwing all around and didnt even shim it right. They were so loose that the shims were sometimes spinning. Had to fix that too. Finding the right combo of shims is a bittch too but whe its all done its well worth all the work and time. That is if you did take the time to do it perfect. Also have an impact wrench, itll cut time down considerably. Also pay SPECIAL attention to the tooth foot pattern. Get this perfect(the corral has a good section on gears) also your gears should come with instructions that illustrate the proper pattern. If this is neglected your gears will howl like a mother. A friend of mine heard this one stang drive past and said he thought it had a supercharger, but it was just the gears not set perfect. Good luck.
