I wouldn't ever spend much money to repair a rearend in one of these trucks. A six lug rearend is super easy to find. I have given away 3.73 6 lug rearends before. Everyone swaps to 5 lug, so 6'ers are all the time turning up needing a new home.

BTW, I doubt the 3.23 gears. It should be either 3.73 or 3.08.

If you're after performance and not mileage, definitely go 3.73.
