need help brothers. im planning to install a 3.73 gears on my ride. I live in southern CA(cerritos) and need help finding a used abs reluctor. also need advise on which parts you recommend i purchase. My car is a family weekend driver with 98,000 miles. well maintained and not heavy on the foot. I also need a reputable installer in my area. i currently have your basic bolt ons, which include k/ n cold air intake, pcmtuned by pcmforless, 160 stat, foil spacer in my throttle body, cooler bypass. im planning to GEAR UP MY REAR END first, then a complete header exhaust system and then rockers/springs. This is all i want to do to my ride. need help brothers. thank you
check with local 4x4 driveline shops in your area for install. $150-$200 is typical charge
You may find that you need new axles also...won't know until they pull the old ones. A common issue is outer bearing wear on the axles
If you don't have a limited slip diff in now, good time to do it with a gear swap
pcm will need a re-tune for the new gear ratio
You may find you have drive shaft vibrations with the lower gears. Some had decent results with getting a stock DS re-balanced but majority who had issues got a wider, balanced aluminum DS. Dennys is considered one of the better drive shafts.
been looking at the motive gear set and the eaton trutrac detroit lock differential. any other recommendations. also the bearing overhaul complete kit made by timken,yukon, keyo, and U.S.A. standard. any other bearing kit name brand you guys recommend. I ALSO NEED A REPUTABLE GEAR SHOP HERE IN SOUTHERN,CA(CERRITOS). I NEED HELP HERE SOCALSS/ IMPALA BROTHERS.
You should get a "master install kit" for the Eaton That has all the bearings you need for the geat/posi swap
Eaton diff does require specif size bearing but you can get the complete kit for them
All Eaton differentials made for General Motors 8.5" and 8.6" axles require special bearings. For axles with small bearing
bores (race O.D. or 2.89"), usually found on vehicles prior to 1999, bearing LM102949 and race LM102911 are required.
Thanks brother......let me know as soon as you find it. I'm currently shopping around for the best parts and prices for the 3.73 gears(AAM), complete bearing kit(timken), and Eaton trutrac detroit lock posi. Does anyone know where a complete set with these items can be found? thanks

AAM is Chinese now!! Forget that crap. Have to find some NOS stuff if you don't want Chinkie stuff..
