Find a place that will install brand name gears for a good price and give you some kind of warranty.

Aftermarket may be better, but OEM is good stuff.

Yukons, Precisions, motives set up properly are all fine, I have never had any of them come back. Precisions are the best aftermarket gear available and are better than a ford gear in my opinion. I would not not bother taking it to a dealer to have it regeared they do not have the tools or the expierence to rebuild a rearend properly. And who can blame them how many rearends would they do, they primarly work on brand new vehicles. Give your location and I can probably recomend someone in your area to install.
