I rebuilt it with 3.55 gears. I got the ring and pinion from Randy's and a master overhaul kit (all the bearings and shims) the cost was just a little over $200.

200$ was including the gears ??

gee, I called one place (I don't want to do that job...) here that is known as very good, and they ask 900$, to do a complete rebuilt (gears (3.21 or 3.55), sure-grip, bearing)...not sure I want to put that much money on a 8.25.
Since I am not on a rush for that part, I think start looking for 8.75" and wish i am lucky and find something worhty.

A little over $200 was the cost of the parts. About $175 for the gears and another $40 or so for the bearing kit.

It was a couple of hours of my time to rebuild the rear end. Not a hard job, you need an inch-lb torque wrench, a torque wrench with about a 150 ft-lb range and a dial indicator.
