Thanks for the Timken site. I was able to get the bearing numbers and as usual the tapered pinion bearing for load bolt style 3rd is the killer at $255

Here is the list in case anyone is looking in the future

Differential bearings
388A

Diff pilot bearing
M5205EL

Differential pinion bearing
55197-90030

Pinion Seal
411330N

The kit at Rock Auto is $481 plus shipping and looks to only add the pinion nut

One thing on the Timken site is that they mentioned 2 pilot bearings are needed, I would think only 1 is required but anyone know for sure?
