My very first, too. I bought a 3.42 gearset, bearings, etc. from Randy's Ring and Pinion (now Randy's Worldwide). Installed them in place of a 2.73 in a GM 10-bolt rear end. Had to call tech support a couple times, and they were very helpful.

Since then I have rebuilt two GM rear ends using the original gears and new bearings. Have to say even gearsets with over 150K miles still looked great and were very quiet. When properly set up, I suspect they would outlast most vehicles!
