Thanks for all the input guys. I do run empty 99 percent of the time and would like to run up the interstate to get to my camp in the Adirondacks [2 hour drive]. What little I get on the interstate now scares the heck out of me! This NOS rearend looks like an easy swap, comes complete with e-brake cables and all... I have some time to ponder this as it would be a winter project...
