8.25 Axle Assembly
I have a 2004 QC 4x4, 3.7l with a 5 spd and a 3.55 geared 8.25" rear axle that must be rebuilt due to horrid pinion bearing grindage. I'm all but absolutely certain I'll need a new ring and pinion along with the master bearing kit. Is there anything else that I will need to replace?

Im doing this to my 9.25" this summer. You might as well replace the axle side bearings and seals while you're in there.I have a 2004 QC 4x4, 3.7l with a 5 spd and a 3.55 geared 8.25" rear axle that must be rebuilt due to horrid pinion bearing grindage.

Good luck with it

Update: Update: Picked up a replacement rear end yesterday. It's a year older and has a few more miles, but there's no bearing noise, no gear noise, it functions as intended. It's an LSD, and it was only $210 (+1.5 hrs.), which makes a Detroit TrueTrac a far more feasible option for my budget. Putting an 03 with 180k on my 04 with 177k. Isn't that the definition of counterproductive? Lol.
