Excellent. What would I do without you smart guys? I've been (sort of) fretting on what gear ratio I was going to go back with. All along I've been wanting to just run the same gear ratio. Heck, if I'm to understand, I don't even have to pull the pinion, and can reuse the ring gear. That makes things easy (or ... easier). I'll look up what this crush sleeve eliminator is. The open diff (or worn out LSD) works really well as is (aside from allowing one tire to break traction while the car barely accelerates), and I'm a believer in, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." But if the eliminator could "eliminate" future issues, I would probably want to go that route.

Will look at Dr. Diff directly. Thanks for the valuable info!

If you have a sure grip, it will be the cone style, easy to rebuild, there is a sticky on here to show you how to do it.
Mill a little of the cones, and shim the rear, almost no dollars spent, if you know someone will a mill.
