Sounds about right.
Check your build sheet you may have the 1/2 ton 9 1/4 rear end like I ended
up with. If so, you don't have to worry about the rear so much as the
tranny. It took 62k of heavy use/abuse/drag stripping it to require a
bearing change out in the rear. The tranny hasn't been so polite. I
lunched it after 10K when the truck was 5 months old. The dealer covered it
but wasn't too happy about it. Also watch out for the clutch, the stocker
isn't always up to the task.
