3.91 gear install
Thinking of going with 3.91's, what is required for the install and where is the best place to order from?
I've seen a number of different kits, not sure which to get. |

I cant speak for everyone who had them installed, but I had mine done by GM.
A bit on the pricey side, but it came with a warranty.

I would order the actual 1le gear from chevy. I believe they are actually cheaper than the ones Richmond and Lingenfelter offer.

I'll call and try to get pricing. I have a feeling just that much will be an adventure.

I was told book time to pull the rear, r&r ring and pinion, install rear was 14 hrs. I pulled the rear and installed the rear on my garage floor in 3.5 hrs and I had never done one before. Had a shop do the ring and pinion took them 4 hrs. I'd say a shop should be able to do the job in 5-6 hrs.
