Myron, Paul,

Thanks for the info. I'm convinced I can make an 8.75 last a reasonable amount of time, especially following the advice given. But it's much more work and time. A new dana with all the options is just not doable budget wise. I'll look for a used dana that's in good shape, as well as price out an 8.75 setup with best value in mind. I appreciate the help, it's makes the pros and cons clear. I enjoy doing things myself, I save money and learn more that way too. Downside it takes a long time
