I want to upgrade to 3:73's, i found the gears and everything but i was wondering if i should do anything else while im in the rear end, the car has 160K, but i dont have alot of money and its well maintained i think i can get away with out anything besides the gears, What whould you guys suggest that i do pluse if you have done this mod, what are the results, what are u running for Revlolutions per min(rpm's) and fuel economy

I would spend the extra $130 or so and rebuild the whole rear end. I haven't done it before but if I had to tear apart eveything you have to to get to the gears then I would figure it out.
 
I have the FRPP centersection in two of my auto MN12's (3.73's and T-Loc) and I'm really happy with it. On the highway with a 4R70W, I see about 2500 rpm's around 80 MPH in overdrive. If you don't have a T-Loc in there now, I would highly recommend you add one while you are installing the gears. Otherwise you'll just be smoking one tire and going nowhere.
