    well i would keep a eye out for a new axle if thats what you want to do. there is a tag on them that tells you what the gear ratio is and if it is LS or not. also, the 9.75 is a D shape pumpkin.

    The reason it was so cheap was it was that weak ass 8.8!
    I'm with everyone that says look for a wrecked truck with the 9.75. Though if you just want to keep your wheels locked up, a regular LSD or posi would work fine.
