Just to follow up, I've been feeling some slippage with the 8.2 under power lately which accelerated my hunt for a new rear diff. I came up dry regarding reasonably priced 8.5 or 12 bolt cores locally. What I have found would need a full rebuild, new axles and a ratio change. By the time I'd be done, I'd be in the neighborhood of a Moser setup minus all the perks.

So, I bit the bullet and ordered up a new Moser 12 bolt. Went with a 33 spline Truetrac and 1350 u joints, kept with a 3.55 ratio. Thought about a rear disc conversion, but that would mean I couldn't run my stock 14" wheels on occasion anymore, so the drum brakes stay. Shipping was the hard part to choke down - over $400 to get it from IN from CA. Should be here in about a week and a half.
