Hello all. New to the sight and this is my first post.I bought a Chevy 85 K10 with a 350 recently. Its only major problem is the ring and pinion is stripped in the front differential. I bought a ring and pinion and was going to attempt the install myself, but I found a whole new front axle at colemans.com for $395 and now I'm thinking about going that route. It comes with tie rods, rotors, calipers, and locks, all new in a crate. I don't know much about gear ratio however and from what I've read lately 3.08 should be avoided like the plague. Is it really that bad? Should I be thinking of changing to a whole new gear ratio? Any input will be much appreciated.
